I'm 20 weeks pregnant. My dd is almost 19 months old.
She has decreased her nursing SIGNIFICANTLY since I became pregnant. In fact...just last weekend we left her with our best friends and spent a night away. She did great. Went 3 days without nursing at all in fact.
Most of the time she asks to nurse sometime in the morning after she's woken up, at both her naps (still has a morning and afternoon) and at night if dh isn't here to rock her to sleep. There are plenty of nights she goes to sleep without me because dh has her and she does great with that.
We night weaned about 4 months ago and she's been sleeping all night (9-11 hours) almost every night.
The problem is during the day..it has become so extremely painful and irritating and uncomfortable to nurse. I don't really know how to get her to go to sleep for a nap without nursing her. She asks and cries if I don't let her. She won't let me rock her to sleep. She often goes to sleep in the car...but I don't want to start that habit...especially with a newborn on the way.
What do I do? I don't feel like I can keep nursing. I think she is ready to be weaned except for her naptime. I feel so overwhelmed.
Please help...
