How do you wean part time?

Thanks. I really don't want to wean her, but I am struggling with her being so dependent on me. Especially now that its just me. No dad or nan to hand her to for a few minutes.

While mum's here I want to get out & meet people. But I don't know if DD can be without me at sleep times... I do know though, that mum has a heck of alot of patience & will pace for hours if need be.

I might start trying to say no during the day. Looking forward to being attacked all night

Would she appreciate being worn on your back while you're working? Maybe just having you close and seeing what's going on would help?

I've actually never been game to try wearing her on my back before... might give it a go.

or would she sit in her highchair and "help" - where help probably involves making a cake with sultanas and flour and water but it can be fun!

I don't have an actual high chair. Just a little seat on a chair. Not high enough for the bench. Thought about getting a proper one, but not sure there's much point at her age

are you enabled with sling/carrier? it's worth a try at any rate
