Weaning: Day 1

Last night I decided to full on wean Xavier. I knew it was going to be hard and I was never really ready to do it but there were some things recently that pushed me to do it now. 

Last night wasnt that bad. Jeremy got him to sleep by rocking him; we usually do this. About an hour later he woke up and just would not go back to sleep. I would rock him, he fell asleep for a minute, woke up, fell asleep, woke up, ect. He finally fell asleep for more than 5 minutes and I went to lay him down and he woke up. I came out in the living room and laid with him on the recliner. Same thing happened with falling asleep then waking up. Then I thought that he actually might be hungry or something so I put him down while I got him some milk in a sippy cup. I warmed the milk up a little so it wouldnt be so cold and he drank a lot of it right away. Then we laid together while he drank the rest. He fell asleep and I moved him in the bedroom and he slept for 4 1/2 hrs. He woke up at 5:30am and I got him milk again and he fell asleep while we were in the living room. He woke up again at like 8am and I finally broke down and nursed him because I was so tired I just wanted to sleep a little bit longer. Plus, I really needed it. 

So that was my first attempt at really weaning Xavier. He also needs to break this whole not sleeping through the night thing. Its getting old. 

My plan for tonight: Give him a sippy cup of milk right before bed. Rock him to sleep. Get up and give him milk if he wakes up. Get up in the morning when he wakes up even if its at 7am. 

Please pray that I get through this because I am basically doing it all by myself.
