I said I was going to nurse thru this winter but my poor BBs cant hand it anymore. It hurts so bad to nurse now, I am almost in tears! So I decided to wean. Yesterday morning I nursed Alex for the last time at 7:30. I was set on it all day, then night came around. It was not so bad to get him to sleep ,BUT when he woke up at 1 to nurse he was not happy. We went to the livingroom and he didnt cry most of the time but he did some. We just watched some tv and ate. That lasted tll like almost 5am. I go thim back to sleep at 5 and he slept till 7 then the day was pure hell. LOL He has been crying and taking naps about every 2 hours. He tries to lift my shirt. He is even refusing to drink milk altogether. I tried in a bottle and a cup. We also tried pumped BM and whole milk. Today at like 6pm when we ate dinner he drank a bit of BM in a sippy but not a lot. He is happy right now but I think tonight is going to be worse. DH was no help last night. He also got up at 3:30 that morning to go to work so I didnt think he would be of much use lol. Tonight he will help out. I am hoping to get than 4 hours sleep tonight. Last night I got 2 then 2 hours this morning. I felt like giving in so many times. It breaks my heart to keep it from him. I just keep telling myself we have went this far theres no turning back. Its been a day & half already!
OMG Melissa my heart goes out to you guys it must be soo hard! Did your BB's just start hurting all of a sudden, did your milk supply decrease? I'm sure you'll get through it, hang in there!
We have been going thru this for about 2 months now. Since his upper teeth came in. We have tried every position and they dont hurt that bad when I am not nursing. I even went back to lanolin and that didnt work. My milk supply was still going strong. It still is I have to pump atleast once a day to get the hard lumps to get away. Alex is still being a lil rebellion. He wont drink the pumped milk at all.
Last night was alot better. He slept 4 hours then we were up about an hour then back to sleep for another 4 hours. He decided he wanted to snuggle with me this morning and laid his head on my pillow and let me put my arm around him. He just acted so mad at melol but I think he is better. Today he had one nap and he is out already. Hope we have another good night!
