Thanks feeb and Heaven, I am encouraged! Feeb, the 'bubby floor' thing is funny and I do have to laugh at my DS sometimes as he is much the same, he'll even drag the bouncy over for DS2.

Heaven, I remember when you night weaned your DD and I was impressed - I was thinking about doing it with DS ages ago too but there never seemed to be a good time eg i returned to work, he started daycare, changed daycare, got sick, then DS2 was coming soon! I tried the 'something different' approach last week and he thought it was a really funny game but hey at least he didn't get upset! Again, I'm impressed with your DDs efforts (and a bit jealous!). Will check out the Jay Gordon stuff again..

I know I'm going to have to go slow. You're spot on Kelly, I think he has a bit of separation anxiety (if he's latched on I can't go anywhere!). And I will watch out for external factors more e.g. a really booby day is a sure sign that somethings not right - he's anxious, sick, exhausted, bored and this is reeeally stupid but every now and then I realise he's just thirsty the poor thing - we've forgotten to give him water!!

I think we have made some progress in the last week - we have 'booby breaks' at night where he stops breastfeeding, rolls over, shuts his eyes and tries to go to sleep, no pressure, when he's had enough trying he gets back on the breast. He has fallen asleep a couple of times on a 'booby break' - even said no to boob when I've offered just to be cheeky or because he's busy doing his fake snoring.
