Sleeping through the night/weaning
Lyla still wasn't sleeping through the night, she would wake up two to three times a night crying for mommy milk so I would go in there nurse her for about 5 to 10 minutes and then she would go right back to sleep. I was getting so exhausted after not having a full night sleep in a year and a half and we really needed her to sleep through the night or at least better than she was. I decided it was time to wean her from the boob. she has also been cluster feeding throughout the day whenever she's fussy she would scream for the boob and then scream that she doesn't want it. My sister suggested we try putting Play-Doh on my nipple in my bra to deter her from wanting to nurse because of the taste, but she seems to not mind the taste cuz she tries to eat her Play-Doh when we're playing with it so I decided to try vinegar. I still had leftover disposable breast pads from early on so I put a few drops of vinegar on one and put them in my shirt. The first time she tried to nurse and taste of the vinegar she said ew yucky and started laughing. she tried maybe one or two more times and said yucky I told her mommy milk is yucky. I was shocked but she literally weaned herself instantly. this way worked really good because instead of me saying no and not letting her have it she decided that she doesn't want it anymore. As soon as she stopped nursing she started sleeping through the night. Tonight is night number five and for the last four nights now that she's not having mommy milk she's been sleeping amazing at night. If anybody needs to wean off the boob or needs to get sleep I highly recommend trying this.
