DD is 2 and has always nursed to sleep for naps and bedtime. This has worked out just fine until now. I am 16 weeks pregnant and nursing is extremely painful (this is my second time nursing through a pregnancy, and the first time wasn't nearly as bad). It's at the point where I'm crying because it hurts so bad and I'm starting to feel resentful.
So, how do I get her to fall asleep without nursing? I never had this problem with DD #1 because she stopped falling asleep at the breast well before she was weaned. She would nurse and then ask me to sing to her and rub her back. She was only 2 at the time. This time around, my 2 year old throws tantrums if you try to limit her nursing and she just continuously climbs out of bed if you try to get her to fall asleep without nursing. Also, I'm not going to wean her completely...I'm just trying to night wean her.
Help, please!!
