I cannot see how night weaning will help your little toddles gain weight. Your MCHN sounds a bit suss to me.

My DD is 19.5 months and still night wakes. I did stop night feeding her about 3-4 months ago because she wouldn't settle back to sleep and instead thought boobies were a play thing, she'd be up for 2-3 hours playing before going off to sleep again. I took the boob away and handed her nightly wakings to her daddy because I was just so sick of being a play thing for her. Daddy STILL gets up to her 1-3 times a night. Sometimes she just needs a burb and its straight back to sleep, sometimes she's cold and needs her covers put back over her and sometimes she'll wake right up for an hour or so ....... she ALWAYS make up for it the next day though if she has a really bad night.

I do think its a good idea to offer more food or maybe offer some yoghurt before bed? (along with her trusty BF to sleep) If she eats it great, if she doesn't then she's probably full.

We give DD food until we can see she is clearly full. then its her bath then a book then yogurt and another book then bed. there is a good 45 min from teat to bed time. We have chosen this from our own experience with DD not wanting to settle if her tummy is too full.

ATM she goes into her room for boobie and bed at 8.30 but this week its been after 10 before she will go to sleep for me. I take boob off her once she gets that real comfort sucking thing going and is not falling asleep.

I am also pregnant atm so I find bf for more than 10/15 mins rather painful.
