Nena,
Sorry, I don't have any good ideas for you. Our daughter is 10 months and she cosleeps with us. I sometimes wonder at what point the nursing and the cosleeping end, but I don't know....Anyone out there have expereincing with weaning or moving from cosleeping to their own bed?

| So, I apologize ahead of time. I am not the best at conveying my thoughts. Is there a reason you want to quit? I mean, he will quit when ready. If you are deifnatley ready to stop BF, give him a little while after he has completely adjusted to sleeping without you. Our daughter sleeps with us and she is 2.2 yrs old as well as our 7 week old. We personally don't mind. For our daughters 2 yr birthday we got her a twin bed and she likes to play on it. When we asked her why she didn't want to sleep there, her answer was very simple, she said daddy's not there. Have you tried asking him why he doesn't want to stop or why he doesn't want to stay in his bed. If you are going to quit BF then talk to him about it. Help him understand. I know this is an issue in our house as sometimes my husband says I am the parent she is the child, but I have found that most of the time when I explain things to my daughter it goes much more smoothly. Hope this helps. |

| My oldest daughter is not five and she was bf until a year. She slept with us until she would sleep through the night, then she would fall asleep with me in bed and then my husband would move her to her crib. She started to go to bed in her own bed when she started school. Her sister is two and she falls asleep with us in the livingroom and then we put her in her toddler bed. Sometimes she stays and sometimes she doesn't. She was also bf until about a year, but I stopped because of her brother being born. I plann to bf him until around 16 months, and I love the kids sleeping with us. Maybe if you put your son in his bed fter he is alseep he'll stay. If not, wait until he is in school and tell him it is part of being a big boy. When he sees that no one else is bfing, he might not want to either. Good luck! |
