Recently it is ghard to get Qi Ning to nap. When is time for her usual nap, she would refuse to put her head down. She would protest loudly with her "no" and if we hold her she would stiffen her body. She fight not to sleep even when she is very tired. I know she is tired because if I insist to hold on to her and rock her, within minutes she will drift into her dreamland. Usually she takes two nap but ever since she turn 18mths, she drop to one nap a day but a longer one, about two hours plus. 18mths seem to be a milestone where toddler drop to one nap a day and they seem to just notice it!
I dunno whether is it because I am away from her in the day time, at night in her sleep she will be asking for mommy. She will call out for mommy a few time in the night throughout her sleep. I will have to assure her that mummy is here beside her verbally or pat her slightly. Then she would drift back to sleep happily and sometimes she would want to nurse for comfort!
Nursing is quite painful while you are pregnant as the nipple is very sore especially when she first latch on! But I really has no heart to wean her as she don't seem to be ready. I am trying to talk to her about weaning but don't think it work at the moment. So just have to endure lah!

ooo ouch..ya huh...you are pregnant..how many months already?
qi ning prolly wants to ensure that you are with her at night since you are away from her during the day...
Its really hard to wean them off when they're so used to the nursing not just for food but for comfort.
It is more painful when you have an active toddler at your breasts.
I normally hold them tight and asked them to be still, and explained that it hurt mommy!
Been there, done that...twice *sigh*
Hey.. same here..
In the night.. she'll be waking a few times to see if I'm next to her.. If I am, she goes back straight to sleep.. If not, she'll sit up and call for mummy. :(
Zara is in the midst of dropping 1 nap too.. but she's not sleeping long enough in her 1 nap.. so she gets cranky when she's tired.
Oh poor mommy... pregnant still nursing? Hmm try talking to her subconscious mind 5 mins before or after she sleeps, it's belief that she will change with these teaching. Read somewhere long time ago, used it on bb also. It works sometimes.
mom2ashley: Abt 2 mths plus liao if follows my last mensa' date. If according to scan only 1 mths plus!
Mumsgather: I am trying to talk to her slowly, hopefully it will work! :)
mama22Beas: You really terror, I have to hold my breadth each time she latch on!
Zara's mama: There are so much that they wanna explore, so try to sleep less but then become crancky due to tireness. tough huh! I am trying to adjust her routine but still no solution yet.
Allyfeels & twinsmom: Will try your suggestion see if it work. So is few minutes b4 and after she sleep huh?
