Sleep training

Ashleigh

Hi Mamas!

I guess I'm just looking for some support. We're beginning sleep training Friday night and in preparation, I'm trying not to nurse my son to sleep. This is what we've been doing since he was born as we both enjoyed it. It's not that it's a problem now, but we have plans in May that will require my mom put him to sleep and so we're trying to get fully adjusted by then and this is the best time with our schedules. I'm already missing the cuddles, and knowing these are the last few nights with him in bed with me is really bittersweet.

No one in my family nursed this long (8 months next week). So it's hard to get advice/get a ton of support from them. I'm trying to remind myself that it will be worth it in the end, but it's still hard.

I should add, we were EBF until six months when we introduced solids. He rarely has bottles because he doesn't really take them.
