Loralei kind of did. What did before that was just start giving her more milk instead of boob, I went to finally only nursing her at night and once in the morning for a week and then at night only. During the day she had a sippy cup of milkSimple Complexityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729769749219889291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315608385945418228.post-103987661499487472009-08-27T23:27:15.484-05:002009-08-27T23:27:15.484-05:00Thanks...

I'm glad (or maybe not?) you can relate! Hugs to you as well.

It sucks! and the worst thing is when DH is a dumbass! We are a team! Lets do this together! DH and argue big time about what to do with B's tantrums, I walk away and let him continue it alone, and DH's solution is to call him a little brat and tell him to knock it off. brilliant, isnt it?

At this age he doesn't need to nurse during the night, so try sending your hubby in to resettle him. If he's <i>really</i> good for DH. ;) <br /><br />As for weaning, I stopped offering & distracted them when they asked for it.

Of course Andrew acts differently for you than he does for dad. YOU are the one that nurses him, why on earth would he throw a tantrum for boob, for Rob?! <br /><br />He'll find something to bang his head on if he's out of the crib, walls, floor, etc. Hailey went through a head-banging stage but it was brief.

This...Thanks, Mol. I might try the standing thing.<br /><br />This was the first time I let him cry; normally I go and get him before he starts banging his head.<br /><br />The reason why he still needs a crib is because we tried the bed, and he ran for the door EVERY NIGHT and banged his head. This was why we had the three hour bedtime routine where I continually nursed him until he fell asleep, Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00214456605607882879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315608385945418228.post-55793556332859847372009-08-27T13:51:13.302-05:002009-08-27T13:51:13.302-05:00One of the LLLI leaders mentioned that you can &qu...One of the LLLI leaders mentioned that you can "wean on your feet" meaning that if you don't sit down and don't get into any of the normal places that you do when you nurse, he might "forget" about it for awhile.<br /><br />Also, being pregnant, the milk may change or even disappear for awhile.<br /><br />He needs to chill out and understand that 2-year-olds throw fitsMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774558034963099447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315608385945418228.post-42383997564579993572009-08-27T11:14:06.348-05:002009-08-27T11:14:06.348-05:00Oh yeah, and thanks for the reassurance that it...Oh yeah, and thanks for the reassurance that it's normal for kids to play one parent against the other.

He was pro-breastfeeding but is now saying things like, "he's going to be on there until he's five" and stupid shit like that. He doesn't understand it because he's not the one nursing. URGH.

It is totally natural for a kid to play on the emotions of one parent over the other.<br /><br />So yes, DH can go suck a fuck... how exactly does one suck a fuck?

For example, Stephen SCREAMS at me, and doesn't for his dad, and throws food with his dad, and not with me. It's just different dynamics with the two parents. Hopefully your pedi will have some advice about the weaning and head-banging, and good luck!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769842129536893837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315608385945418228.post-24413123657401205912009-08-27T09:12:25.571-05:002009-08-27T09:12:25.571-05:00I don't have any advice on the nursing because...I don't have any advice on the nursing because I have only made it 7 months with my daughter and will let her wean herself when she is ready.I think you a fantastic mommy for nursing until 2! That is alot of work! I sometimes think I won't be able to make it until 1. <br /><br />Your DH sounds like mine he don't understand that all 2 year olds throw tantrums.
