Weaning... Mission Complete

He is officially weaned.

Weaning,continued

Day 2 & 3: Aiden spent the next two nights with his dad so I have no updates to report.

Day 4: The distraction method did not work as well as Day 1 because he missed me so much while he was gone. I gave in and nursed him but I put vinegar on my nipples to discourage him but he didn't mind the awful taste.

Day5 & 6: Progress is being made. The distraction method worked during the day and I only nursed him once right before bed.

Weaning - Night 1

The distraction method does not work at night. AJ woke up at 2am demanding to be nursed. He has not woken up in the middle of the night in a long time so Im not sure what is going on. I hope I can stick this out.

Weaning - Day 1

I have no more excuses. There are two reasons why I should wean AJ from breastfeeding. The stressful process of my divorce is finally over and his cousin Arianna will be joining TYC's day care soon. I have 30 days to get the job done.
Im trying the distraction method. When he tries to nurse, Iv'e been distracting him with unlimited TV, juice, and lots of attention. So far it is working. Normally I only allow 2-3 hours of TV and 4 ounces of juice but desperate times call for desperate measures.
