Night-weaning ROCKS
I am making an effort to night-wean Julian.
Reason One is that I can no longer sleep while nursing him at night.
Reason Two is that I haven't gotten my period back yet (due to all the night-nursing), and we want to start trying for #2 sometime in the near future.
Reason Three is that I'd like to go back to bed with Dan at some point.
So far it's not going over so well. Sometimes he screams and then goes back to sleep, sometimes he just screams and gets increasingly upset. Last night was an increasingly upset night. He woke up and cried. I took him potty, but he still wanted milk. I was telling him that we would have milk in the morning, but Mama was too sleepy for milk at night.
He grabbed my nightgown and pulled it desperately, then cried "ROCK!", which is the closest word to "milk" that he can say right now. It cracked me up so much that I had to laugh and give him some. He is certainly learning to use his words effectively!
