I was desperately looking for alternatives to wean my 24 month old son without going "cold-turkey" (as at least 3 doctors have told me to do) and I found you guys. Thanks for being there. When my baby was born I had trouble to nurse him. I would not have a good supply and only after so much effort and perseverance we could start doing it well when he was 3 months old. I thought I would wean him at 12 months, but you see, I am still doing it. He loves it, though I am very sure he does not get much (I never got a good supply) and most of the time I am his pacifier. Especially at night. He wakes up once or twice and keeps latched on for hours!!! I am really tired and worried. He does not want to eat much and I feel like instead of giving him good nurturance, I am the obstacle to his better eating. I want to wean him and teach him how to fall aspleep without nursing . I know he does not know any other way to do it . He is very stubborn and very smart and I just not want to make him suffer or let him cry to sleep. I am reading all your posts and will try a plan with all your advise. Please any additional help or tips are welcome. Especially related to weaning and get him to eat more. Thank you so much Hi to every mother here!

She is an amazing Mom and parent educator. Secondly, Good for you for using gentle techniques to get your toddler to sleep at night. It hurts my heart to hear parents tell stories of how they just left their baby to cry - and it worked! Now they sleep without a peep. Of course, it worked. If you we at the bottom of a cave and no one answered your calls for help, eventually you would give up too. Oops! Sorry for the rant! Anyway, Dr. Harvey Karp, author of The Happiest Baby on the Block, tells of many gentle was to get baby to sleep. Even though his book is geared towards babies, believe it or not, many of his techniques work well into adulthood. Do you need a fan or TV on to sleep? That is one of his S's. Ok, now that I wrote a book . . . Basically I just wanted to say - Good for you for finding something that works for you and your daughter! Good niht, sleep tight!
