We're finally putting a stop to LS's nught feedings. Mama has moved downstairs for the time being and me, well, it's 3.46am and I'm sitting here with little miss Grump. And I'll keep sitting until at least 5am which the earliest she can get breakfast. Unless she goes back to bed, that is...
EDIT: 4.08am and she's out. BB woke up, however, and is not best pleased. Mama is trying to get him back to sleep now...
EDIT: Third night. 1.52am. We're up, but Little Miss has understood that there is no more night milk and so she is simply happy and enjoying midnight blogging with Pappa. We'll have to drop this before she comes to expect having a small playtime in the middle of the night... Outside, there is a light snowfall and a wet thick layer of snow is covering everything. Beautiful on one hand, tough to bike through on another.

joys of parenting.
This too will pass (but it may seem like eternity
... I remember it being tough in our family too. With DD I left for Papua NewGuinea (alone) on the day after her first birthday - so all nursing HAD to stop prior to that. It was tough (on us all) and when I look back I wonder why I made the choices I did. But that's old age for you.
(PS hubby got rid of DD's dummy too when I was away. She was so grumpy he thought she might as well have a reason to be grumpy about. Poor kid :( ...!)
Hope you all sleep better this night.
Well, it's 1.40am now and here we are again. Miss Grump woke up a little before midnight and raged at me for a while, then collapsed in sobs and has spent the last few hours sporadically napping with interspersed screams. Just then she got really upset so we came in here into the office for a change of scenery. So far, BB hasn't woken up, or if he has, he's been a good boy and stayed in bed.
oh dear :(
is it possible she isn't ready to be fully weaned? waking before midnight is a very long time to struggle with this. Luckily today is pappa's day off ... but still :(
Nothing so drastic. It's simply just the second day we're trying. She went back to sleep and slept soundly until 5.30am, when she got breakfast. Then she slept until past 9am. Unfortunately, BB woke up at 5.30, too, and since Mama fell asleep giving LS her morning feed, Pappa had to stay up.
Now feeling very very tired and cranky.
It's a progress that she's not unhappy!
Pappa,I hope you get this "midnight-blogging" under control.
And that the "next" time you are sitting with her around midnight is when she comes late home as a teen-ager. :)
She's not being fully weaned, just at night!
Mama
