Up until last night, I have fed C at least once or twice (mostly twice). I've wanted to stop for awhile now, but he got teeth pretty constantly (one after the other) from the beginning of the year til a couple weeks ago (and I'm not good at staying strong if I know he's in discomfort). Last week we were on vacation, so the time has now come to stop. I know he's working on his molars, but I don't see them yet, so I'm going with it and hoping we're through in the next week or so.
We made the it through night one. I was on his floor from 1-2am, quickly at 3am, and then from 5-6:30am. I was about to get him up at 6:30, when I realized he had actually fallen back to sleep! I think that was pretty good for the first night, but it was so hard not to feed at 5am, knowing he'd likely to back down. The only thing that kept me going was that I'd don't want to have to do this again in a few months. I kept that early morning feed with G until he was about 16mo, and while it was nice to not have any EWs, it doesn't always work for C and I think sometimes he wakes more during the night just waiting to get to a feed.
So anyway, would you help me be strong, please? I'm tired today, obviously, but not that much more than normal.
I know that after a few days though, it won't be quite so easy to stay upbeat.
