Congrats on your efforts BF to date that is brilliant. We started offering DS water in a sippy cup and he stopped waking for night feeds super quick. I felt bad because I know he was wanting to feed for comfort more than anything but DH and I were getting soooooo tired and it was just something that although I didn't feel good about doing I knew I had to do (in our situation). Shortly after that (14.5mths) he self weaning off his bed time feed. I was a little sad but was happy I'd been able to offer him BM for the last 14.5mths. He still wakes some nights but settles easier. Good luck.
I used Jay Gordon's method, sorta. I didn't use a time frame or count the hours, but I used the basic premise. Didn't really take very long at all and my little guy was about the same age as yours.
He still wakes in the night, but goes back to sleep with a 'shhh, go to sleep' or a quick drink of water that I keep next to the bed.
