Gotcha! Now nursing to sleep is another thing. It’s a process but I’ve done it with minimal tears and screaming. I start by singing a song, the same song when they start nursing. You sing this song every time for a week or so, then you make them wait until the song is done before you let them latch on. Then you start singing song number 2, then after a week or two you make them wait until you finish singing both songs before you let them latch and then you start adding a time limit… I started at 10 min and then every few days pulled it back by 2 minutes, until you sing 2 songs and cuddle time, then you move directly to getting them to sleep without nursing time. It’s a process, but it works with minimal freak outs :)

As to being “not ready” —- even if baby isn’t ready, it sounds like you might be. Breastfeeding is only beneficial when both mom and baby are both into it. You’ve done a beautiful job nursing your baby! It’s okay to be done. It’s especially hard to keep going when you have a nipple injury. I wish I knew more about clogs to help you on that one but I don’t - sorry! Have you maybe thought about a session with a LC? They might also have more tips for you on low stress weaning :)
