    Jazz stopped at 18 months. She was waking more than 5 times a night and it was exhausting! At 12 months we started using the NCSS and also an amber necklace, which both seemed ot make a huge difference. She went down to about 2 maybe 3 wakings a night which was pure BLISS! At 13-14 months we moved her fro co-sleeping with us to her own room, onto a floor bed (ie. double bed mattress on the floor lol) and she dropped down to to one wake-up a night about two months later (so she was about 16 months old). Then at about 18 months she seemed to grow out of it. We tried with no success to night wean at 14 months when she went to her own room , so didn't persist, and she and she just stopped at the beginning of the year when she started sleeping through. She has slept through since then, with only a few exceptions if she has been sick or eaten food with preservatives or colourings.

    My own personal opinion is that it's harder to night wean them if they aren't ready. In my mind, that has nothing to do with age.
