I'm not sure if this is even weaning, but I think I am ready to lower the amount of times my 16mo DD nurses.
Well, maybe I should say I **wish** I could lower it. Is it even possible? I know she won't like me refusing, so I hope there is a better way to convince her that this is all she needs, maybe, or something. I don't know! I am looking for advice!
She STTN. I think I would like to nurse her 3x a day - like morning, after work (when I get another job), and before bed.
I was recently laid off. I used to work 3 days/week while she was in daycare. I nursed her midday, but during the last month (Dec) I stopped going in at lunchtime, and she did fine all day without milkies.
She knows the sign language for milkies, and now that I am home all day she wants to nurse ALL the time, like a newborn almost! Every hour or so.
When she goes out with her Dad for several hours, she eats great. (solids) But when I am at the table with her, like at dinnertime, she eats maybe one or two bites.
I guess I am rambling. Sorry! Looking for advice on how to get her to eat more solids, and maybe that will reduce the requests for milkies...??? Or other ideas to lower the occurence...?
Or maybe I should just be glad the universe is telling me to stay home and nurse her every hour.
Help me, mamas!
