You know, God create women's body in a miraculous way! You should listen to human nature! Our body works naturally to feed our child! The more your baby cries, the more milk you have, and the more he cries...... until you feed him!
Have you ever thought about gradually weaning him? It's really not good for you and your baby to stop nursing all of a sudden! His body and your body won't adjust physically and psychologically! (sort of like quit smoking)!
Austin stopped night nursing at 3 natrually. He just slept thru the night and didn't want to get up anymore. Before that, he still gets up once or twice at night! But he stopped day nursing before 2 and only nurse when he needs a nap. So it was a gradual process. And my body learned to control how much milk to produce when he's around 1.5-2 (and I stopped leaking and stopped wearing a pad). Maybe you should lessen his nursing times day by day, or even week by week!
Nursing should be a happy thing, not a sad thing! Good luck!
Aiwen.. I totally agree with you! I really don't think this is a good idea because he cries even harder today. But my parents insists me to do this..... and my mom keeps saying I spoilt him. They think he's so difficult because of me, it's all my fault. Ai~~~ I don't know... I really don't know what to do now.
If you really want him to quit cold turkey, you shouldn't be present! If he sees you, he see's "milk"! But eventually, he will see you, and he will cry! Weaning gradually is the best way! Unless you don't mind him crying! Then just let him cry!
My parents and my husband's parents and everybody old all told me to quit nursing when Austin turned 1 (even some old doctors & nurses). They also told me not to drink water and take showers when Austin's born. What do they know? That's why I don't trust old people with babies. They're just too out dated! They were going to let Austin drink honey and feed him peanut butter! Are they trying to kill him?
That's what I suggested to them, I should leave the house for several days, but they didn't agree. They want me stay by the side, at night, they go to bed let me sleep with my baby. Ai~~ if so, I could just do it myself in the US, I don't need to come back ya! Ai~~ I don't think I can leave him like this anyway. Let me tell you something funny, for these few days, my parents took Moises out, left me in the house to clean. I really have problems communicating with my parents. Please pray for me! Thank you!
May God give you strength to communicate with your parents and set poor little Moises free, and may God give you strength to clean up the house! Ha! Ha!
Your sister-in-law introduced 小沙子's blog to me. She and Jeff live in my house right now. I have a 9 months old girl and I have been enjoying reading his blog.
I really felt bad seeing 小沙子 suffers from quitting his night nursing and hope you would find a more comfortable way for him and yourself.
I was like you before wanting so badly to quit Jessica's night nursing. I tried the cry-it-out method but not just I did not succeed and she became even more attached to me. Finally, I gave up and decided to let her quit it on her own whever she is ready. All of sudden, one month later she never wakes up and can sleep through 9 hours straight during the night.
I agreed to aiwen. Nursing should not just be a duty and must be a happy thing:) Good luck!
Thank you all so so so much! I breastfed Moises last night, he felt asleep afterwards from 9 to 6. He slept through the night~! I am very happy about that. I decided to wean gradually by feeding him less during the day and no feeding at night. Thank you again for your prayers! I believe this is the best way for me and my baby. ^_^
Hello Vivien! Nice meeting you! Welcome to my blog!

想喝奶的沒奶喝, 不想餵的還有奶
那個兩隻老虎歌也太妙了, 小沙子不曉得聽不聽的懂哩!

好辛苦...
我沒有類似的經驗, 不知該如何幫你
我一直都是擠出來, 放在奶瓶餵他們
(因為我在上班)
只有我在他們身邊才直接餵
妳試過了嗎?

小沙子好精,還會想起奶是辣的..
看來或許他還在找他的安撫物,啊...我不確定你會不會給小沙子喝水...
sdd沒有喝奶後,常常會半夜要喝水...有時真的是口渴.
我試過用奶瓶裝水,他不要,後來我買到一種躺著也可以喝的水壼(用吸管吸,但不會溢出水)...他現在半夜也常會醒來找水喝
我姐的女兒4歲,喝母奶到1歲多,也還會半夜找水喝

在"斷奶中"時,有時我也是會試著唱歌或說故事...有時sdd似乎是真的半夜會有點餓(因為之前都還有半夜的宵夜可以吃)他的生理狀況還沒調過來,類似妳也還會漲奶...
因為sdd那幾天正好是夏天,我會給他喝"優酪乳"冰的..因為優酪乳比鮮奶甜,他初期接受度比較高....過幾天,我就把優酪乳加一半鮮奶,白天也讓他喝,若半夜他又醒,會問他要不要喝優酪乳,有幾次都成功了....
我姐的女兒之前離乳中和之後,也都是先用優酪乳替母乳,似乎母乳是甜的,所以他們比較能先接受優酪乳.
那一陣子,為了確保他半夜醒來不是因為餓, 在他睡覺前, 我會拿cheerios給他吃,讓他多吃一點...但有時清晨還是會餓,所以喝點優酪乳,他就睡了...
大約1~2週慢慢地就調好了...他就不會主動想喝母奶..
供沙子娘參考.
By joy薯, at 1/15/2007 8:50 AM
其實如果妳還不想替他斷奶的話(也不在意父母的壓力)..或許當小沙子不再想起辣奶時,就再讓他又喝了...他就再也不怕...他只會以為才幾天有辣...反正現在以後都不辣了
其實離乳有比較緩和的方式,只要母子都準備地差不多...
By joy薯, at 1/15/2007 8:57 AM
至於妳擔心小沙子因為母奶..三餐不正常吃...其實我覺得不是大問題耶...
看他活動力那麼好!
少量多餐...有大小便,健健康康...

經過這兩天慘烈的經驗 小沙子好像突然長大了一點 雖然他還是有點 "盧" 哈哈哈.. 而且大人們因此有了溝通與討論 我們也成長了許多
By 沙子娘, at 1/15/2007 10:52 PM
原來連斷奶都這麼多功課要學~!
真是辛苦.........
小沙子是被蚊子襲擊嗎
臉上好像都被叮了
By IceCreampuff, at 1/16/2007 7:27 PM
對呀~ 討厭的蚊子! 殺!!!
By 沙子娘, at 1/16/2007 7:46 PM
謝謝大家的幫助和支持.. 真的好感動! 小沙子昨夜9點睡凌晨3點醒來我給他溫水喝他喝完就回去睡. 6點又醒一次我給他喝母奶. 之後一直睡到8點. 我想他是會餓吧!
By 沙子娘, at 1/17/2007 12:36 AM
Dear 沙子娘,
恭喜你! 小沙子很棒了! 慢慢的來就對了! 白天比較好轉移注意力! 晚上比較難, 因為你就在他旁邊!
