DarbysMom,
Well, dropping the 10:30 feeding did not go as planned. She woke up and DH couldn't get her to sleep for more than five minutes at a time (sound familiar
). She ended up nursing like crazy and then slept until 5:45. Not too bad, I would much rather have her wake up at 10:30 than 2am. I am also trying the technique that I read about on another post, working to take her off of the nipple before she is totally settled--hopefully this will help.
I just found out today that we will be going out of town for a family emergency tomorrow and staying at my in-laws. I know this will through a knot in things, but we are just getting started so we won't be set back much. What I am not looking forward to is the unspoken disapproval of me still nursing Lauren at all. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law (no children) are amazed I have nursed past six months. I appreciate reading the posts here and seeing I'm not alone.
Good luck!
