rachel,
i've already successfully wean dylan from day time feeds. It was tough... started out with 2 feeds a day and on Monday, I switch to giving him pediasure only during daytime. First day was bad of course, had to endure lots of tantrums and screaming! But by the end of the day, he sort of understand and I kept telling him... "No more milk milk!" After that, he is ok drinking from bottle.
I still let him latch on early in the morning and thru the night. Of cos he also latch on before going to sleep... I try to feed him more earlier in the night so he won't want to latch on to sleep. Sadly, he not only does not sleep thru the night but gets up every 2 hours!!! I'm' seriously zombified but PD says that we just have to wait for him to grow out of it. *faint*
My plan is to wean him out of night feeds etc once he is more used to getting only formula during day time. So far, one week has passed and he seems to be accepting it well, sometimes when he stress, he does pull my shirt but I just keep telling him "No more!" then he will give up liao.
steffie,
Har!! If we BF until our kiddos are 5 years old, can die leh. I am hoping to fully wean off dylan soon... if not, i will not have any good night sleep!
