    Hey girl! I recently weaned my toddler at 20mo. I strategically dropped 1 feed at a time every few weeks until there were none left. When she woke up from a nap or in the morning, I would greet her with a pouch and drink instead of the boob. If she woke up in the middle of the night I would send in my husband. After a couple of days, she just stopped waking up. You can do it! Just make a plan and stick to it. Some of my mom friends with super persistent toddlers put bandaids on their chest and said it was broken. 😂

      Did she show any sign of self weaning at that age? Thank you for the advice.

    New subscriber here, girl don't worry to much on your next market having more crochet artists, I think all of you guys could benefit off of each other, like how cows sell fast could just be where each shop takes turns selling out of them. (Or maybe I just want to believe that the crochet community could be like this) ❤ Thank you for the video.

    You should buy a large keyring and tie the sample colors on it. Put a tag on the yarn before you tie it that has the colorway.

    I feel like every event I go to now always has multiple crochet plushy vendors. You are good in the sense that you have lots of one of a kind items to keep my booth unique I also like to make a bunch of little cheaper price items for those who may see a crochet vendor before you and have bought something from them already they will be more willing to buy a small plushy rather than a large one because they already purchased somewhere else

      Yes great advice! This is my first show in my home city so I think a lot of family will go and they haven’t seen my setup yet in person.. including my husband and kids! But they see it at home everyday

    Congratulations! Completely relate on the kids! For the swatches just put them on a chain loop !! You know like how they do paint samples ! That is a great idea btw I might need to do it ! I agree it’s hard to pick colors and textures online!

    • @ComfortLoops
      @ComfortLoops  4 місяці тому +1

      Yes I was thinking about that too, I just need a system to show how variegated yarn works up in sc rounds like how all the plushies are made so that I was leaving towards swatches. Still working out the kinks but I will have something made hopefully for my next show 🙏🏼

  • @KP-bq7yc

    The swatches are a great idea!!
    Also, 18 months and still nursing is not a big deal at all.
    "The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization also recommend exclusive breastfeeding for about the first 6 months with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods for up to 2 years of age or older." This coming from the CDC.
    I have watched specific 'weening toddlers' videos on UA-cam. I have a toddler and an older child.

    No advice on weaning. I nursed my last one till she was 3 n half. I would have cut it off sooner but it was hard Omg I didn’t think we would ever stop nursing

    • @ComfortLoops
      @ComfortLoops  4 місяці тому

      Yes, it’s been so hard, I’ve tried cutting off for two nights in a row and he literally cried for two hours. Did not want anything to do with my husband. And as soon as I just gave and nursed him, he fell asleep within two minutes.

      I think I’m going to chalk it up to self weaning at this point but I got bit yesterday so that’s been no fun, thanks for watching! ❤️❤️

    How do you calculate how much yarn you spent?

    • @ComfortLoops
      @ComfortLoops  4 місяці тому +1

      I take the total weight of finished product in grams and split 55% yarn in grams and 45% in polyfil. That was the average I found after weighing out actually plushies I’ve made. Then for example take your full skein of Bernat Blanket at $11.99 and divide by full skein in grams (300g) which comes out to be around $0.04 per gram. Then multiply your yarn grams x price per gram in your skein and you get total $ spent in yarn. Example: Bernat Blanket Mabel Chicken-70g total product weight (rounded up 39g yarn/31g polyfil) $0.04x39g yarn= $1.56 in yarn used
