Night weaning - when and how

We did it about a week after DD's grommets went in, so she was just over 1. DH got up to her instead of me and it took about 3 nights before she'd just go "oh, it's you, no milk for me then" and happily cuddle back to sleep. After maybe 2-3 weeks of it being only DH, I would take turns too and she seemed ok with the idea of only getting BF during the day. It hasn't really helped with her night waking though - sometimes I think it would be easier still feeding her so that when she DID wake up, I had a quick, lazy way of getting her back to sleep.

For what it's worth, I was UTD again within 2 weeks of night weaning too

thanks westie girl I'll stick with it then, and let her wean herself

I've been feeding her to sleep the last week cause she's been sick hoping she'll go back to her once a night waking once she's recovered.

As for getting utd again bahaha DD is proving to be an effective contraceptive to any possible bding we might be getting.

At about six months, I could tell he didn't need it, and was just having a few sucks as a way to get back to sleep, so just stopped. He got the idea very quickly. In saying that, when I say he's weaned at night I still feed him from anytime after fivish, and he'll often go back to sleep at that point - and for a while I still gave him a dreamfeed at 9.30, so it was more the inbetween feeds that I stopped.

My boy weaned himself, just started to stretch out time between feeds at night. I never did a dreamfeed, jsut feed when woke, and 12 weeks old to the day he went to bed and slept 12 hours solid, so no night feeds since then. But that is rare I think. Needless to say his growth was slow(but ok) over the next few months until we started solids, now he is just about off the scale at the heavy end!

No probs I'm hoping once she stops wanting/getting a feed in the early hours of the morning she'll start sleeping longer.
She's done 6-7 hour stretches between 11 and 5 reasonably regularly if she could do that every night I'd be a happy Mummy.
