Hello! Hey, it’s Me.

No nursing nighttime

Another “big news” week around here! As of last Saturday night (6 nights ago), Colin has not nursed at bedtime! This was a decision that was jointly Chris’ and mine, and only minimally Colin’s. But he has done remarkably well! When we tried this with Delaney so long ago, it didn’t go so well the first time, and even the second time, so we nixed the idea until she was more “OK” with it. But with Colin, it wasn’t that big of a deal! Chris handled the first night, then I handled the next few nights. He still mentions it at bedtime, but hasn’t cried or begged or screamed or fought…you get the idea; he just says “rock me, mommy” and then “pat me, mommy” and he’s fine!

I guess this is the beginning of the end! He is still nursing twice in the very early morning hours (before the sun comes up) and is nursing down for his nap. He is cutting a second molar, so he hasn’t been as keen on nursing for the past week or so. We just took advantage of this excellent opportunity.
