I’m weaning my 20 month-old daughter currently - we’re down to just one nurse right before bedtime routine. I thought I’d be happy about it, but I’m finding it harder than I thought. When she’s upset or having a rough day/night, my first instinct is to nurse her and then I have this disappointed feeling that I can’t because we’ve already cut those feeds out. I keep reminding myself that I’m weaning so that we can start trying for baby #2 (I don’t want to worry about milk & nursing during the first trimester because I was so nauseous last time) but I miss being able to soothe her that way and I’m not looking forward to our last nursing session. Everyone keeps telling me that it’s great that I’ve gone this long, but I’ll be so sad when we don’t have this bonding time anymore.

My daughter is almost 20 months old and approaching the size limits for the pack n play. What do you use for sleep when traveling when they’re too big? We don’t really want to introduce co-sleeping on vacation since we’d want her to sleep on her own at home. But she doesn’t have a bed at home she can get out of, and our family’s homes aren’t really baby-proofed.
