My daughter is 18 months old. I have been trying to wean her for months. When she was 3 months old she had rsv and pneumonia. She was hospitalized for about a week. She was on an iv. At 9 months she was hospitalized due to an UTI. She had another iv. She has had 5 catheters since she was born. The doctor said she had PTSD from everything that has happened to her. She is very mommy obsessed. I have managed to cut out all nursing except for nap time bed time and in middle of the night. I really would like to be done completely. I have a lot of personal issues right now and I am so tired from getting up in the night to nurse. I don't want to cry it out because she has just recently stop having night terrors and stuff from the ptsd. I would appreciate advise on how to do this as easy as possible.

When I weaned my son, I would get up with him and nurse for a while, but cut it much shorter than usual, then give him a sippy cup of breast milk. I don't know if she's using a sippy cup when she isn't nursing, but try whatever she's using... sippy cup or bottle. Then I just cut the nursing time down little by little until he just wanted the sippy cup. Then, so I didn't have to wake up at night at all, I started to water the milk down until it was just water in the cup. He didn't want to wake up just for water.
Not sure if that helps at all, but it worked for me!
