[quote=Anonymous]I think if the child is really attached to nursing especially, making a comforting and "safe" place suddenly jarring and unpleasant could be damaging. That said, I know that many cultures have traditionally done this to wean, so you wouldn't be the first. I think I'd try other measures first. I'm still nursing a two year old, but probably around 18 months I was able to nearly always defer the nursing to "not now, we will nurse at home." Had I wanted to, I could have probably cut the nursing sessions to only those at night (we nursed to sleep). I know that all children are different, but my son was a MAJOR nursing junkie too, so that may give you hope. If you can start saying "we will nurse in an hour" and getting your child used to you putting limits on it, weaning should be pretty simple from there. (That actually is a step of weaning when you ask the child to wait). Good luck! [/quote]
