Parenting and Transitions
We’re trying to wean our son from breastfeeding (he’s 18 months). It’s going pretty well - Sarah had him down to one nighttime feeding and this week we’re stopping that. Our method (which we used for our daughter at 17 months) was for me to get up in the night with her because I obviously cannot fulfill that need. I think the transition is easier for our son than it was with our daughter. But he’s still having issues sleeping through the night at 18 months. Last night I got about four hours of sleep, but my longest stretch was 2 hours.
The transition is hard, but it’ll be worth it. It seems like just yesterday he was an infant.
