Weaning a 2 1/2 year old

My advice...DON'T. Heehee Well, not cold turkey anyway. :)

Here's how it's gone so far.

This is how YESTERDAY went...

We had a little (ahem) training session with Gideon this morning. He was rather upset about the whole thing. He's 2 1/2 so he understood that Mommy was sick and on meds but he was ANGRY and sad that he couldn't nurse. She screamed, he kicked, he hit, he got swatted over and over and over. He finally figured it out. Hopefully it will only take one showdown like that.

Later he kept pointing at his teeth while asking to nurse.
We got him some Tylenol instead but it was sad.


He asked several times and we ended up having several training sessions.

Bedtime was rough.
I sat in the rocker with him on my lap with a blanket. I even gave him *chocolate* milk in a sippy cup. He was SO happy. Then he asked to lay down with me- and nurse.
Keeping him in his bed took a showdown also. I had to sit next to his bed for an hour. :)

He did sleep through the night.


TODAY
He did ask to nurse this morning but he didn't demand. He just looked upset that he couldn't. :(

Michael took him to pick up cans today so that will help. :)

Gotta go. Boys are frustrated. Blessings!- Angela :)
