Breastfeeding
I have a 21 month old and I have been able to cut him down to 2 feedings a day. It was rough but worked out. but now I have a problem I kept the going to sleep feeding and nap feeding. I need to get rid of the nap feeding now. He has always had a very bad latch because of a high pallet and I can't take the pain I've been in every day for almost two years. Also I'm hoping cutting it to one feed until he's two will make the last one easier to end.
I tried yesterday and since we bed share he wouldn't even stay in the bed just kept screaming away from me on the floor. When I finally got him to stay in bed he wouldn't lay down just sat there screaming for 40 minutes and yawning and I still didn't give in and he ended up refusing a nap all together so I let him leave the room after an hour and 20 minutes of screaming.
I feel awful. I don't know how to get him to lay down. I don't know what to do to calm the screaming. I told him stories. I sang his favorite songs. I tried rubbing his back and head and he just would get mad and throw my hand away from him. Any moms that weaned this way and were successful please help.
