She just woke up more and wanted me to come back in the bed with her. However, I am thinking about doing it again now that she's older. <br />To clarify though, my goal here is not to stop the nursing. The goal is to get her to sleep deeper and longer without my breast in her mouth. She still nurses during the day and plenty at night.<br />This will be a long process because I am opposed to letting her cry it out. Even if I was not, I truly do not think it would work with my daughter's personality.<br />It is getting better. Other than those few nights last week, I am able to get up again in the evenings while she sleeps.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179017575408367896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928691692997483316.post-5174082696127957832009-09-18T13:09:35.316-05:002009-09-18T13:09:35.316-05:00It doesn't really seem like mama has changed h...It doesn't really seem like mama has changed her habits so the process will probably take much longer. Why not have her in her own bed? I am not against babies/children in the bed but sometimes moms and dads want it more than the child. Since attachment parenting seems to be the goal here why not let her decide when she is done nursing? See ,this is also something that you want to end and she is clearly not ready. I have twins and one of them stopped nursing at 14 months and the other was not ready until 18 months. It is hard to know what to do when you are a parent but in the end a happy medium between parent and child seems to be best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
