At that time she was mainly waking up between 4:30 am and 5am to feed. What was so great is that she had an understanding of language enough so that I could tell her, “night time is for sleeping and daytime is for eating/nursing.” And she totally understood me.

For the first few days she protested and woke up right on time. I gently rubbed her back and explained again that I would nurse her in the morning and that I loved her. I didn’t pick her up out of her crib, because that only strengthened her desire to nurse.

I was very aware as a nursing night time mom that it was taking critical sleeping time that my body needed to recharge. Chinese medicine specifically talks about how each hour works on clearing an organ during the night.

I am still nursing my daughter during the daytime on demand and just to agree with the poster, she can go almost 48 hours without nursing and is just fine. Grandma keeps her busy!

Blessings

I just change the subject and will continue to breastfeed her as long as she wants it. It is a beautiful bond between us and just when things start to get a little crazy around the house we can both go away in private and enjoy a little down time. She loves to watch her Dora or Sesame street while nursing and I get to sit down and close my eyes. She is a healthy and confident little girl and is in no way overly attached. Keep the articles coming on this subject!
