Weaning Max

Weaning Penny at 20 months was a smooth and easy transition.  I was working and we were both ready for it.  Weaning Max (I was hoping by 20 months, too) is not as easy.  I am ready to stop and he is not.  He expects and requests it at wake-up, before nap, after nap, and at bedtime.  The gentle way to wean is, "don't offer, don't refuse" That probably will not work for this one.  There will be some whining and crying on his part, and some ignoring and some giving-in on my part.  Wish us luck!
