[quote=Anonymous]She doesn’t need a therapist. You are going to help her process this firmly and lovingly. She needs you to be strong, confident, and to set loving limits. You can’t let the medical trauma you both endured impact your decisions. Tell her nursing is for babies and she is a big girl. Give her a deadline in about a week - with a physical paper calendar to mark off the days as you count down. Then on D-Day, offer a favorite treat or a plan snuggle instead. Stay upbeat yet empathetic and do not waver or give in. Treat like any time she asks for something she cant have (another cookie, a toy at Target, whatever). If she cries, hold her if she lets you. It will be hard and then it will be over. If it’s hard for more than a week, go away for a few days. When you come back there won’t be any milk, and she will have a new routine with just Daddy and will forget about it. [/quote]
