question
Need some help about partial weaning

My son is 26 months old & breast fed on demand since birth. He has good eating habits and I feel it is more of comfort feeding now. While I am okay with feeding, in fact I always thought I will let him self wean. He still feeds during day & lot of times at night & I am okay for that too. But lately it is getting very difficult, specially during early morning hours. He would get up & cry for dudu every now & then. All morning chores go for a toss. I cannot plan anything. As much as I wish to get regular about my exercise routine in the morning, even if I struggle to get early after a looong breastfeeding-non-continous sleep, I am unable to follow a regime bcoz I would do 10 min of exercise & then he would wake up for a feed. His early morning feeds are very frequent. All I am expecting is to have a decent exercise routine for myself after 2 years of motherhood.

I seek help & pointers on how I can handle this. Pls note I do not wish to wean him off completely but I definitely need to have early morning hours for myself. His dad cant help, he already has a back to back routine for getting ready for office in the morning. Anyone been in this situation? Pls help. Thanks.

Maybe you can try talking to him and telling him that mamma is exercizing and won't take you if you wake up early. for a few days let him wake up early and try and engage him with somethingwhile you exercise. he may learn that you are not going to take him then. to be frank my 24 month old needs me in the morning too to snuggle else he would wake up way to early so i stay in bed and oblige. that's also the reason why i haven't got back to my pre exercise routine since my second son was born. i now go much later in the day coz getting out of bed at that time is just a no no as he loves to nurse and sleep in the morning. sometimes you just have to go with the flow and know that this will change at some point and you could try but if he resists too much leave it and try to work in a work out at some other point in the day and enjoy the snugggles maybe?

If weaning is associated with their sleep and if they are comfortable..then i doubt their wean-ofd on their own. Mostly they don't.
