He was not ...With my eldest I was ready at a year.. He was not a great nurser and wasn't getting much at that point. He did just fine. I nurse on demand so my baby, who's 10 months was a big night time nurser.. Like up every 45 mins at night. I was losing my mind from exhaustion and started to wean him recently but then decided this wasn't a decision I could make simply out of the need for sleep. Once you're done, you're done so I wanted to be sure. I got from counseling from an expert and decided to night wean.. He now sleeps 12 hours at night! Yay and nurses a lot more during the day. So awesome. So I won't wean him for as long as we both need it. I think it's important to just do it as long as you're both happy. If it's a chore you dread or she's not getting enough, quit. Obviously you've done great for her first year which is awesome.

(She was around 15 months old at the time.) I still kept the wake-up and bedtime feedings, though--and I'll admit those were hard to drop when I found out I was pregnant and decided it would be best for me and the new baby! G didn't seem bothered, though, so I think the timing was just right. It's nice now not to have to worry about fitting in feedings and just preparing G's meals with the rest of our food.Erinhttp://dave-and-erin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
