I know the feeling Arcadia, and it's really hard! In my first trimester when I felt sick all the time I was very much over feeding DS, especially feeding to sleep as it just seemed to take forever. I also understand wanting to find a new method of getting your DD to sleep, we're going through that here at the moment too - the only thing that seems to work is having DS lie in bed with me in the dark (so we have to wait till at leas 8.30pm), and then he proceeds to wriggle fro half an hour to an hour before falling asleep... and I'm still the one who has to do it, cause if DH tries DS gets off the bed saying "Mimi" (mummy) and comes out looking for me .
So I don't really have any advice to offer sorry, but lots of sympathy . I guess it's a matter of asking yourself whether you can handle another couple of months, or whether you'll regret stopping before your goal in the future? Tough one I know!
And as for moving your DD out of your bed - well, we have more recently had DS move into our bed, and I have a feeling he'll stay there at least part of the night for a long time. It's the best way to get a full night's sleep! And really, when you have a little baby as well, that's what you're going to want the most!
AFM: Well, we haven't weaned, yet - but things have changed. For one, I'm pretty sure I have almost no milk left. When I try to hand express, it takes ages for anything to come out, and the most I can get is a drop or two. Plus, the way it feels when DS feeds feels different - like he's sucking harder but not really getting anything. I think maybe my supply has basically gone, which is why DS completely went off booby for a couple of days, but now he's decided comfort sucking is okay. He has started asking for it again, and occassionally he'll let me feed him to sleep, but at the same time sometimes he just flat out refuses me and gets upset if I try.
