DD is 22 months old...still nurses MANY times/day...always nurses to sleep...pushes dh away if he gets "too close" to me...often stays awake until after midnight...dh & I are almost never alone.

Needless to say, dh says he's feeling resentful.

And to be fair...the idea of her going to sleep is quite appealing to me. However, I don't want to wean her.

Any suggestions on how to make that happen??? Older dd didn't sleep in her own bed until she was...3 or 4. As strange as it seems, I don't know how to do this...practically speaking.

Thank you!!!

You can partially wean, do some nightweaning for example, without having to wean entirely. I wrote about my experiences with this on this thread here.

I just wanted to say that my DH went through a faze of feeling resentful and so after awhile DD and I slept in her room together...didn't take more than a week for him to miss us and want us back. Now she is 3.5 and we are all still happily in one bed.

I know that sometimes the only way to get DD to sleep before midnight is to go to bed ourselves, or at least pretend too! Turn off all the lights, etc. and go to bed...then wait it out and get up and spend some time with DH after she is sleeping. Not sure if that helps or not.
