when did your DD/DS stop their frequent night waking?

my DD is 14 months and still has 2 bottles a night and wakes 4-5 times a night.

DD still gets fed to sleep for all sleeps and during the night. We got her into a big girl bed a few months ago so i could just lay down and feed her. much easier that feeding her to sleep in a chair and then trying to put her down. Now she feeds till she has had enough and rolls over and goes to sleep. I cant imagine night weening her as she LOVES 'boobie' way too much and id just be there for hours with a screaming and confused child! not my idea of fun at 2am. but i am expecting another one next year so not sure how feeding two over night would go!!!
sounds like your doing a great job all round, just follow you little one and your instints and to hell with what other mothers/MCHN/books think or say you should be doing. like 'they' say ''your the only expert on your child''
hugs to you

Goddessofdawn, night feeds at that age would be pretty much par of the course. And 1-2 wakeups a night is good! Sounds like she's close to sleeping well all on her own

Marcellus, I think so too! I stupidly let my MCHN plant a seed of doubt. Bet you can tell I'm a first-time mum.
Also thank you for your signature link 'You're doing it just right' - I just read the article and had a little cry, LOL.

I would just like to say thank you everyone for all your experiences above. this thread has come back at a perfect time for me. I have been getting a little overwhelmed and so tired as DD is waking 4-5 times a night for a feed. I tried to pat her to sleep two weeks ago for a few nights and it was horrible. Decided to wait it out which was always my plan after reading these type of threads before. When we hit 12 months I will reconsider if she is getting ready for night weaning as she obviously was not ready and so dearly loves her booby. When I stopped being so stressed about the broken sleep I remembered that it was less draining to just go with the flow. So feeling better already.

Don't feel stupid Goddess - you're doing really well. It's all part of the learning process. Glad you liked the article, it's a fave of mine
