I can tell DS is ready to start weaning the DF. He eats solids 3x a day and lately, I can just tell he isn't taking as much. I was going to start weaning by just giving him one side and seeing how that went. Then giving him that one side a half hour earlier every three days. I was waiting until we got his recent NWs under control (an EASY problem) - so I have not yet started this process.
For the past two nights I feel like I've been doing more harm than good. For one, he's completely OUT cold recently come DF time (which before solids, I could tell he was getting restless by this time bc of hunger). I'd start to feed him and he just keeps popping off. He'll suck for a second, and then pop off and start fussing. I make sure I have a let down before I go in so I know that's not the problem. So tonight I gave him the paci very soon after I realized it was a repeat of last night (last night escalated bc he got so wee*ed off). And his eyes immediately closed and he arched his back the way he does when he wants to be put in his bed. So I put him down and even though he was kinda fussy, I could tell he was just trying to settle back to sleep. So I stayed and shushed and sure enough, he just rolled over and went to sleep!
So....it's like he totally doesn't even want the DF anymore suddenly. I probably shouldn't even post this until after tonight when I see what happens but maybe other LOs have done this before? I'll update tomorrow after I see what happens during the night tonight.
