Thanks everyone so much,

Dh and I have had another discussion about this and we're going to take the weaning process slowly but we both feel because DD is not really "drinking" its more of a "comfort" thing that its time to start letting her learn there are plenty of other ways to comfort her.

We're focussing on the night feed first, which I am happy with because she no longer falls asleep at the breast and its almost become a ritual of boobie until mummy gets tired of having her nose picked, eyes poked, hair pulled, breasts squeezed. Then its sit up and play until forced to lay down.

Last night she had a couple of real sucks and I let her have some comfort sucks before offering her some water which she readily comes off for.

We'll keep doing the day feeds for now so then its not so "cold turkey for either of us, after all it is an adjustment for both DD and myself.

so slowly slowly. I think the night feed will probably be dropped by the end of the school holidays the ways its going anyway.

Thank you all so much for your words of advice x x x
