I think you could successfully nurse both.

I co sleep and nurse my now 2and half year old.

I’ve recently managed to break night feeding/comfort feeds (just one nap time to break now)

The way I did it was slow and drawn out as he would scream blue murder for booby.

I tried everything: plasters on nipples, only letting him nurse from one side, putting apple cider vinegar on nipples nothing worked!! I tried cold turkey but it was heartbreaking so gave in.

What worked for me. Explaining, reminding and communicating what was going to happen. I had to teach him to fall asleep without nursing first so I would let him nurse and before he fell asleep I would take it out his mouth then rub his back (this was a two step forward 3 step back issue sometimes but I preserved.

If during the night (he would wake many times to nurse) I would let him nurse a little then rub his back to sleep (some nights he would accept this others I would have to let him nurse again)!!

Prior to that I had already put rules in place about nursing. Only nurse in bedroom. No where else.

I kept telling him he was getting big and booby getting old and yucky. After establishing a routine where he would fall asleep without boob I picked a day where it was relaxed no early starts or changes to routine no illness and throughout the day reminded him that at night he could only have a little bit before bed and that if he woke at night he would only get bottle of water and back rub. He wasn’t as bad as I was expecting (I also dressed well covered so he couldn’t get at them in the night) he woke often asking but I offered water and back rub. After 3 days this child stopped constantly waking up in the night. He would wake once at midnight and ask for a back rub!!! Then one night after a week he asked for water to go to sleep (I grabbed that chance and then stopped letting him nurse just before sleep)!!!

I do still have the issue of him nursing for his one day time nap but not so much in a rush as I think I can break that by stopping naps (when he ready) or letting him nap in car on a journey.

Honestly I never planned on nursing anywhere near this long and stressed so often on how to stop. Communication was key for us and also me being gentle but stern when needed.
