With my dd, I remember being up in the night with her and walking around in the dark saying 'shhhh it's sleep time, everyones asleep...are you hungry? Or thirsty' and then offer food or drink. I then would take her to bed and cuddle her while she cried and I remember having to get up a few times that first night and then less and less. Basically I didn't try to comfort her to sleep so much as just comfort her and be there for her and she eventually went to sleep. it's hard. Ds is a real boobies addict at 16 months and I'm already fantasizing about night weaning. We're on three feeds a night, basically 2-3 hourly still and it's so draining....!
