I use that time to catch up on homework (back in school at my age;) or visit with my other 3 kids or my husband; laundry etc. Maybe a shower>!?1?. Anyway, I often wonder if she's teething and uncomfortable or if the night waking is just a habit. It can't be nutritional needs, as no two year old needs to eat in the middle of the night , do they??<br />Just what exactly are the nutritional components of breast milk after 20 months? If she can go several hours without nursing in the day, why the frequent night feedings? Hubby says I created the problem by rolling over and nursing her in the early days (but, isn't that the point) He has been trying to take her to another room at night and that helps some. It's almost as if she can smell me...<br />Thanks for the book suggestions!Amanda Ladishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593278467805628643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955214134632935124.post-7339434906600928292009-06-18T17:52:47.363+12:002009-06-18T17:52:47.363+12:00Sometimes I will say, in a quiet but firm voice, G...Sometimes I will say, in a quiet but firm voice, Go back to sleep. This works usually 1-2 times per night. I have noticed if I keep a little bit further away from her she doesn't wake up as often. Life is getting better for me though. My Princess is 18 months and wakes up around 3-4am and I usually have to feed her. If I want to sleep in longer, I can just feed her and we can sleep an extra hour. That is the nice side of night feeding. :)LaVonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553938441239595112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1955214134632935124.post-57507774143633701742009-05-27T13:37:27.786+12:002009-05-27T13:37:27.786+12:00I've also read the no cry series- they are really ...I've also read the no cry series- they are really good books. I would keep a sippy cup of milk beside the bed. It sure was easier sleeping together tho, at least I didn't have to fully wake up to BFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
