Thread: Night Weaning

Good luck with this - I'll be interested in hearing how it goes. I've been pretty resistant to the idea of night weaning Isaac, as I think it would be pretty traumatic for him, but if we're going to have another child, something's got to give. I think it'll either be a case of him naturally cutting back or weaning in pregnancy, or us actively attempting to night wean him. We'll see.

Well she had a very angry 20 minutes or so when I would't feed her back to sleep but it felt a lot longer. She only woke twice between 11 and 6 and second time wasn't as bad.

I did nearly give in, but glad now I didn't as that would have set us back. Can'tdecide now if tonight will be better or worse!

Glad it went ok goodluck for tonight x

That sound like a pretty good start, hope it continues

Yeah I'd say that's a good sounding start! Good luck for tonight x

That was an odd one. She had a long nap yesterday, and didn't fall asleep until after 9pm (but she unlatched first before going to sleep). I put her in her bed and she slept through in there till 6:30 can't believe it.

So I didn't have to do anything last night but I'm not convinced it will last and so I don't know whether to count tonight as night 2 or 3.

I leapt out of bed in a panic at 5am when she wasn't with us

Sounds like progress!

sorry tapatalk has buggered my chance of posting my ticker when I post from my phone!

She did feed a lot during the day yesterday, she may have been testing if it was still available when she wants it.

Wow, that's brilliant. Has she ever slept through in the past, or was that completely new?

Never ever. Closest we've had was from about 11 till 6 from her coming into our bed.

Part of the reason I've waited this long is because she's quite a "good" feeder in the night in that it's usually 5-10 mins 1-3 times a night and I pretty much sleep through them anyway. Maybe she's realised that she doesn't need boob to go back to sleep.

I'd love it if it was that easy but I doubt it. She's probably plotting a full in assault tonight

I wasn't planning on stopping co sleeping though, but we'll see.
