My DD is 22 months. I'm about 10 weeks along, now, and I think my milk is already gone. For the past two weeks, we tried nightweaning, but it was a total disaster. She would sleep for about 2 hours, be awake for 2 hours, sleep for 2 hours, awake 2 hours with no progress being made. We tried everything. She doesn't respond to any kind of physical comforting. Anyways, we gave that up and went back to nursing. Last night, she was awake every 45 minutes or so asking to nurse, which is what she started doing when I got pregnant that prompted the nightweaning attempt.
If you nightweaned/weaned or your child weaned herself/himself during pregnancy, what did it look like? I bought the book Adventures in Tandem Nursing, which is really wonderful. I was hoping that DD would nightwean herself when my milk dried up, but so far, the opposite has been happening. She nurses more often. Is there still hope that DD will stop nursing at night? Also, I don't want to nurse two babes at night, but I've got a long way to go before I start worrying about that. Now, I just want to get some sleep.
