Weaning a two-and-a-half-year old is HARD :(

[Crayola kiddies]

yup I agree with mickyc go cold turkey same with the bed .....put her in her bed in her room and when she comes in to your room take her back over and over again till she gets it...... and again this is just my opinion but im totally against Aping just for this reason .....everything becomes a struggle ..what may seem wonderful and loving when they are infants at some point stops working for the parent and its a struggle to change those habits for the kids and its a lot of tears and guilt..you want them to grow up and be independent but that's not what you have taught them from the get go .....I have never allowed my children to sleep in my bed even when I bf my infants ...I got up went to their room picked them up fed them and put them back in their bed .......my children have never even entertained the thought of sleeping in my bed because it is something that has never happened .....they have their bed in their room and I have mine...I dislike changing a 2 year and 7 month olds diaper I could never imagine still nursing a child of that age ......sorry JMO......im all about independence ....
