My 22 month old fell asleep without nursing

sleep WIN

This is a big fucking win for me and for some reason, my husband did not start the goddamn parade in my honor that I obviously deserve.

My daughter is a shitty sleeper and has pretty much always had to nurse to sleep. Well tonight she just would not settle and I decided to try something new. I left her to cry for a few minutes then I went back in and told her she finished all the milk but she could have hugs. So I hugged her and she calmed down, then I cuddled her by squeezing my fat ass in her little toddler bed, and I slowly moved away until I was just holding her hand. It took awhile but she was calm and SHE FELL ASLEEP HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING. Maybe I won't have to nurse her until college after all!
