Am I to cruel of hold, that nurses?

I need some honest opinions...

My son is 18 Monate-altes. It nursed upon request because he/it was born. Never, one bottle took, never, formula had.
He/it does a good solid diet with dairy, because he/it turned 1, but he/it nevertheless nurses 4 -5 times per day and retinues approximately on every hour with night in order to work as a nurse.

I would not care anything about it to nurse him/it until he/it is in 2 because this is what is recommended, but I am, you sleep seriously robbed, under weight and I only feels, that I can do it no more. I bemühte me, to cut the night feedings only, and he/it will scream for more than 2 hours!!!!!!

I talked about it with some friends, and they ALL told me that I am selfishly and that so young, especially cold turkey is, much too cruelly, in order to disaccustom a child,

Do I not know something to do!! I seeks badly after him/it, but I must think also of myself... this something you types thinks? Any experiences, that entwöhnen old a 18 month? Should I only wait until him/it, 2 are?

18 months, you are not too young in order to disaccustom and are not cruel!

I never must have disaccustomed a 18 month old, my son was disaccustomed with 7 months, because of much burden, my milk supply fell from, and with all on it goes, it was to difficult for us to be built therefore back.

A suggestion, that I have, is everything to be pumped, which you conserve right, before you believe, that he/it will work as a nurse, and there won\'t be very much, if something, leaves for him/it in order to work as a nurse. Only then tell him/it "everything gone", and tries to explain, that he/it now is a big young, and they work no more. Maybe into a couple days to a couple weeks, er,gibt \'ll on? I don\'t have any idea, if works this würde, or not, es\'s only one idea, that I came with it upward.

also through lady, that leaned Breastfeeding, nothing must do with it. You/they believe, thereß he/it magically through the night will sleep, if instead you him/it cow geben,melkt \'s before the bed? If you do, you will be shocked, about from him/it, that he/it will still open every hour to find.

Her/its/their sleep question doesn\'t have anything, with which to do silence. What I think you, needs to do, address is the actual problem: his/its sleep spends.

Her/its/their friends are right stopping because feels THEM dont itself like it to do it, still is egoistic. You/they should your baby self entwöhnen leaves, every time if he/it is ready, even if is the 8 year old.

through poprocks... it, to do to 18 months, is a big performance, most mommies disaccustom with 12 months, and some do it so far not even, so that you should be proud, that you nursed as it, you yearn as you have. I can understand the sleep deprivation, my daughter did Ständig as a nurse through the night until 12 months. I also didn\'t wants aufhören, to work as a nurse, but gets done no more with the night feedings. I read the book "This no scream Sleep Solution", it has any big advice on it like, to bring, you your baby slowly and gently to it, to stop, without the, to work as a nurse, must stop to work as nurses through the night or co sleeping, if that is what you want to do. if you really want to continue nursing and aufh only with the nightörten, feeds mich\'d proposes to read this book. But if of Sie\'d hört rather exactly on, to nurse everything, you go together in front and doesn\'t feel guilty to make it to 18 months, is big. 20 percent 1 voices

through kingston-Mädchen, I make personal no believes you, that you are egoistic. With 18 months, he/it should sleep ern already through the night not to wake up to breastährt so often, and this could mean that it it, that doesn\'t nourish comfort for nourishing purposes for itself, however. I definitely am no expert and can speak only of my own experiences, but you should try, him/it really from breast milk, not necessarily cold turkey too entwöhnen, but him/it maybe 2-3 times per day less than what, that now you with nights and definitive is not, to him/it gives. Offer him/it the bottle or a sippy-Tasse, you emphasize him/it wieviel\'s in one "big child" now, he/it will finally be accustomed to this method of the feeding. It will take some this Convinces and the wine, but you must take the trouble and detains the course, although your heart will break in order to hear him/it crying:).

Her/its/their friends are not in your shoes. Don\'t give that, what maybe they think, any attention. You/they müssen this makes the best for you and your child was\'s. If you are under weight, and this könnte to it contributes, you must remedy the situation. You/they können not for your son provides, if you don\'t provide yourself. You/they should sprechen\'s-Kinderarzt also with your son, who saw, which he/she vorschlägt, as well as speaks to guarantee with your own doctor, that you remain healthy.

Luck.

I used tops of it, about my son (now 15 months), from night care, here too entw,öhnen. He/it now does only 1-2 times/night as a nurse. He/it before also was nurser one the unmitigated night. You/they, if definalely no bottle einf with 18 monthsühren should.
