He will stand up in the cost and have a mess, but he doesnt cry. the first 2-3 nights are the worse, my little lad cried for half an hour the first night, 15 minutes the second, and now his expectation is i will feed him and lie him down. They need to try and not pick them up when they cry which is really difficult but. You can do the usual bath, and feed but then lie them down in their cots with your OH in the room, to comfort them. If possible ask your other halves to take over bedtimes for a short period of time. You need to break the expectation that bedtime means booby. As breastfeeding mums I think we take on the lions share of the bedtime routine, simply because we have to feed them. I have a couple of suggestions which have helped me. I too am getting to the point where I want to stop, my son as other ideas ! My LO is 13 months old and Im still breastfeeding. If only there was a magic way of sorting this involving no crying I live on paracetamol and go through tubes of nipple cream like they are going out of fashion. The horrendous backache from lying on my side all night and the very sore nipples I get from baby pulling is now becoming too much. I'm trying to get my head around the fact that I'm goig to have to stop feeding him even hough I really don't want to.mainly for my own sanity. My other 2 kids feel neglected and so does my hubby. So mOst days now I baby wear him on my front or back. I am at my wits end with him, he is super clingy,never eats, won't settle even with hubby, he follows me around constantly and has done for months, only plays with toys when I am with him. For naps it's a walk in pram or him in the sling. I am also a softie who won't to CC and listen to their baby cry, I think it's cruel! my wee man is one year and one week old. To stop feeding but I am seeing no other way out of this problem. We co sleep as he is on and off all night and I just was too exhausted to keep getting up to him! Although I am really exhausted now! I do t wan. Hi from another mummy with the same problem! Any tips would be great! Thanks in advance! We have never co slept & don't want to start! she has been in her own room for 3 months now. Don't have a clue what else to try! Also she doesn't like being held/rocked - wriggles out of arms - very active & determined! Sometimes does fall asleep off the breast if lying on our bed but not in her cot. Its also what I use to get her over again during night- she still wakes at least once at 8 months.

Am very soft! Even during day for naps have to go for walk/drive or breast feed to get her over to sleep! Im a first time mum & to be honest I didn't even realise I shouldn't have been letting her fall asleep at breast as now its all she wants.

Tried a little bit of controlled crying but to be honest can't cope with letting her cry at all. Has anyone any experience of trying to stop breast feeding but baby uses it as a comfort to get to sleep? have tried to give her blanket/soft toy as comfort, stayed in room with her in silence/ with lullabys on.
