    Your totally right, you have to wait till your really ready, its taken me months of talking it up in my head to be ready to stop feeding to sleep.
    As for the night weening, it was quite simple for us, but like you said, DD is 2 and i just talked about it for a few days, then i just started offering her water and a cuddle, a few tears but i just kept telling her she was a big girl now and didnt have the booby over night, and now she doesnt even ask for it, it took a week.
    I too remember a wiggly stage at about the same age as your DD, it passed, i dont know how quickly but i really enjoy our feeds to sleep now!

    Thanks all.

    We don't co-sleep so I think that makes our situation different again.
    DD actually seems to be incapable of sleeping with us in our bed, funnily enough!
    She doesn't want to lie down at all with us... wants her own space, I guess.

    Beckoes - so does your DD wake during the night at all now?? Or does she still wake, but just doesn't ask for a BF?
