This is our second attempt at night weaning. We started first before easter and it was going great! She started sleeping for at least 5 hrs at a time and I wasn't feeding for 7 or more hrs overnight. Then we went away for a week at easter and things went bad with her sleep. It's really noisy at mum's and she doesn't like her bed much. We persisted for half the week and then decided to give up bc we weren't getting much sleep, and try again when we got home. Then she got a molar, so we only just started again last night.

Disastrous!! Maybe she's onto us now. She had her last feed at 9pm and then I wasn't going to feed her until at least 4am like we had done before (7hrs from last feed). She had lots to eat for dinner so she wasn't hungry. She woke at 12.30 and DH tried to resettle for an hr. Tried to put her down 5 times and she woke up. Then I tried for another hr. Didn't even get to try and put her down bc she never got properly asleep. She was upset and dropping the lip every time she looked at me She kept trying to put her hand down my top wanting boob. Then I went and layed in bed with her thinking she might just go to sleep with us instead of being rocked but she just cried and cried and got very upset And then I got upset bc she was so sad and it was my fault for not giving her what she wants. DH got up again and tried to resettle again. Then he came back after half an hr and said just to feed her, she hadn't even closed her eyes the whole time he was out there. So now it was 3.30am or something, before I was meant to feed her, but I fed her to calm her down and she went to sleep. Then she woke up at 4 and I tried not to feed her again but she got too upset and I eventually fed her again bc we were so tired. I think she woke about 7am again and I fed her. Now she's still sleeping, lucky her!!

So now we've probably just made it worse. She probably just thinks that if she protests for long enough I'll feed her. But she was actually upset and had tears We need to night wean because I don't have AF back and we would like to start TTC. I'm hoping just having a break from BF overnight will bring it back bc I won't wean completely just to have another baby. And we would also like more sleep. We have been waking up every 3 hrs (max) her entire life and we are TIRED!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have any tips for me?? If I don't feed her it feels like she'll stay up all night until I do!! She's done the same thing when we have tried before too. Will it get better?

Please help!!
