Great Topic: Nipples!!! Lol...... Posted: 07-08-04 11:19am
Ok guys here is my problem......I have
been breastfeeding joshua for 3 1/2
months, and he takes his bottle with
cereal 3 times a day, and whenever we go
somewhere, all other times, I breastfeed
him. Well I have been giving his his
bottle more and more because I am trying
to ween him, and he does just fine, except
when it s time to go down for the night.
He screams and screams and screams if I
don't give him my nipple. I try holding
out and see if maybe he'll go to sleep
anyways, but after 20 minutes I just can't
help it and I give in. I have tried
giving him a pacifier, bottle, teether,
orajel, mylicon drops, nothing works!!!
He just wants my nipple! And I want to
break him of this habit but I don't know
how! Any suggestions???

Also, you know how when your pregnant,
your nipples get bigger and darker???
Well mine lightened up a lot already but
will they get smaller again when I stoip
breastfeeding??? I really hope so! Lol.
Sorry sd I don't have that problem so I
dunno. I'm sure it is just a little
pigmentation defect.....No biggie
probably.

My friend had that same problem with her
son and she gave into him too until he
spent the night with us one day and of
course I couldnt breast feed him. So no
nipple for him and she said after that he
calmed down about it. I know it would be
hard but just try and hold out on him.
Good luck

Just try not to give in. Eventually he
will realize he has to take the bottle.
