Weaning 18 month old

Hi everyone!

My 18 month old refuses to wean or take milk from me, regardless what bottle / sippy cup / cup I offer it in.
I tried also mixing a little honey, chocolate and strawberry milk but no. He won’t have it. I have no milk and no boobs left and I worry he’s starving himself / getting dehydrated. We are up nursing most night too. Any ideas and suggestions are more than welcome!!

Billed 4 years later

In 2022 with my first pregnancy I was referred to a maternal fetal specialist within network. I had appointments on 6/7, 7/7 and 7/14 2022.
At the time I had Molina Insurance with Covered California Marketplace; which would potentially make specialist $65 at the time. I live in Los Angeles.
Anyway, I have received the bill for the 3 visits yesterday in mail! Yesterday was 7/28/2026!
They did bill my insurance and are showing I need to pay copay.
I have a problem with it because how can they send it 4 years later? Why didn’t they bill me then? It’s ridiculous.
If I have to pay it’s fine, I don’t want to hurt my credit score over the three visits but I am appalled at the lack of timely communication especially because I highly disliked their office and have cancelled all other appointments with them.
What would you do? Thanks in advance!

16 month old split nights on one nap

Hi! My just turned 16 month old has bad split nights only if he skips second nap.

We tested this weekend because his wake windows are getting longer and waking up later in the day, bedtime got to a late spot.

Normally (this is very approximate):
wake 8am
Nap 1: 12pm-1:30pm
Nap 2: 5pm-6pm
Bedtime: 9:30pm

When we were trying one nap, first day we pushed that second wake window too much (I thought) so shortened on second day, this is how it went 😭

Day 1: Saturday

Wake: 8am
Nap 1 12:40 PM- 2:15 PM
Bedtime 8:20 PM
* **11:00 PM:** He woke up completely
* **3:00 AM :** He finally went back to sleep.

Wake 8:00 AM (Sunday)
Nap 1 12 - 1:55 PM
Bedtime 7:25 PM
* **1:50 AM:** He woke up and struggled to settle.
* **4:30 AM:** He finally fell back asleep.

* **9:30 AM (Monday):** He woke up for the day.

I think the right thing to do is keep him on two naps but a) wake him earlier in the day (by 7:30am) and cut his naps, or at least last nap short eg cap at 30 mins. He is very hard to wake up when you want him to wake up lol
What would you do here?

I want him to sleep through the night and have an earlier bedtime if that can happen, thanks!! 😊
