    Hey Olive, you prolly already know this but we night weaned DS just after he turned one. Did it with DH doing all of the resettling. Last feed was at 11pm and nil before 6am to start with. He then at around the same time dropped his lunchtime feed and before bed feed and the late evening feed followed soon after (by his choice) so we went from three day feeds and two to five night feeds down to one feed a day in the early morning over the course of about a month. He is really attached to this feed (and so am I!!) even though it's quite painful for me.

    He hasn't been sleeping any better though (last night being the exception!) but hopefully your DD does for you. You can definitely cut out the night feeds and still have day feeds. Take it slowly. You know your DD best but I think if you're still consistently offering feeds at particular times of the day when she most wants/needs them (like early morning or just before bed) she'll still feed.

    Hope you get more rest soon hun.
