I don&#39;t wean my kids and I don&#39;t actively potty train them either. I let them do it themselves. It goes SO much smoother. All of my kids were potty trained with no nighttime accidents or anything by their 3rd birthdays and I never had to deal with cleaning up pee/poo all over the place due to premature underwear-wearing LOL The longest I&#39;ve nursed is 19.5 months and I allowed child-led weaning with all of mine. I am thinking I&#39;m not gonna be so lucky with Zoe though - she&#39;s 16.5 months and she&#39;s not anywhere close to slacking off - at all LOL! <br /><br />That being said, if I were to actively wean, I would probably do it during the day first then work on nights... would seem to be much easier that way. I remember even when Briyana (my oldest and the longest nursed to date) led the weaning process, the last couple of months, she ONLY nursed to go to sleep at night... then gradually she started going to sleep without nursing :)<br /><br />Either way, GOOD LUCK and I hope you guys had fun at the beach!!!Kat @ For the Love of Chaoshttp://senilemomentia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-90605039579697949212009-11-02T01:53:52.893-05:002009-11-02T01:53:52.893-05:00Aw. I know this is tiring for you as well as hard to see him cry like that. I hope day time works but it seems these kids are just tooooo smart. I&#39;m trying to potty train and I&#39;m not focused its not her. Can&#39;t wait to here that he&#39;s weened.Nicolehttp://www.helpmamaremote.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-36663287746195227222009-11-02T01:24:43.073-05:002009-11-02T01:24:43.073-05:00I started weaning first in the day. Telling her that she could have &quot;milk&quot; before sleeping {nap time or at night}.<br /><br />I was successful in getting her disinterested for mid-morning &quot;milk&quot; when I replaced that feeding with fruit flavored snacks. ;)<br /><br />At night, I wore a shirt and told her she could hold me. *arms tightly wrapped around my neck* It was a long time before she realized I wasn&#39;t giving in. It was a horrendous time with long crying fits [sometimes more than an hour], but we both got through it. <br /><br />Then one night the quick taste before bed wasn&#39;t needed anymore.<br /><br />Wishing you the best!Believerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13704455578460158369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-62994163898530828042009-11-01T18:58:26.783-05:002009-11-01T18:58:26.783-05:00Oh Ana.. I&#39;m not envious of you right now! ((hugs))<br /><br />I hope things get easier as each day goes by! Wear him out at the beach and maybe he&#39;ll be too tired to stay awake screaming wanting to nurse. lolMandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08249168087397426420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-20105016147479264552009-11-01T15:01:41.475-05:002009-11-01T15:01:41.475-05:00Well, after this battle, another begins. I was able to wean my baby, who&#39;ll be three on Wednesday, where he is only (still) sucking a few minutes before bedtime and then I rub his back, but I have been unable to get him off of me (it&#39;s like that now - not fun like it used to be) before he goes to bed every night. Every night before he goes to bed, he wants to &quot;go night, night,&quot; which in English means he wants to suck/nurse. I am so sure there is no milk left inside of me, but he has the nerve :) to request one side over the other. I feel for you. I did the daytime weaning, but w/that he also stopped napping during the day. Even so, you should try it.<br /><br />This will be our first Christmas as a family of five. Since we moved away from family, I&#39;ve decided to create some new traditions. We will definitely miss our relatives, but it will be nice to celebrate in our new home and town. We may even get some snow!Milk and Honey Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15155906474217382431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-16157639404960406302009-11-01T05:31:38.388-05:002009-11-01T05:31:38.388-05:00Christmas plans in place already! Girl you are super ahead of the game. I&#39;m holding off thinking about it because I like to plan but I also have a challenge with procastination(that I&#39;m winning by the way). Doesn&#39;t make for a good combination but today you&#39;re an inspiration to me with this.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Sunday.Fruitful Vine2http://www.blogger.com/profile/03577995017158917173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-90149843210963016252009-10-31T16:08:27.975-04:002009-10-31T16:08:27.975-04:00The hubs may be right about the daytime weaning. That was effective for me with Marley. Nights were so incredibly difficult, and I feel you, b/c hearing them cry is torture, and I never could stand that. Forgive me if you&#39;ve already stated this, but have you tried putting whatever he drinks from close to your breasts, so he can smell but not have your breast milk? That was somewhat effective for me too, but overall, you&#39;re in my prayers, Love, as is Tar, b/c it just has to run its course. Marley was a little over two when we stopped, and it took probably 3 months for it to be totally over.Execumamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14426315658624727915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510057136112838617.post-3776389703251882222009-10-31T14:44:50.218-04:002009-10-31T14:44:50.218-04:00Weaning is hard no matter when you start day or night. <br />Big hugs to you, I wish it could be easier...<br />I love you guysmamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12538193234362990445noreply@blogger.com
