It took 6 weeks to get her off the boob (so I started 3 months ago). It was a nightmare & I'm still recovering. I did wean for more sleep, but also just because I'd had enough. I'd been pregnant & breastfeeding for 5 years straight (DS as well) & just wanted my body back. I should just go cold turkey, but I'm not ready to do it all again just yet. (She still gets the boob out & tries to feed.)

Its the teeth I'm worried about. DD2's front teeth all changed shape because of it. I don't like the sugar hit of the flavour, but there's sugar in milk too. Even without the flavour. BUT DD2 had watered down juice or cordial sometimes. That wouldn't have been good. I won't be doing that again.

I might try give her some eggs or something just before she goes to bed. See if it helps. She is definetely hungry. She takes me to the pantry & tells me what she wants half asleep. She's actually fallen back asleep while I was making it on occasion.
