Thanks so much everyone. I do have the No Cry Sleep Solution, but I got really put off by all the sleep logs etc - it just seemed too hard even to start. I'm sure it does work if you commit to it though.
I am reassured to hear that the most important thing will be to cut out the night feeds, and perhaps I could still BF during the day.
I'm sure he is getting milk during the night, and perhaps more than I think. We do give him a bottle during the night as well, if he seems unsatisfied by the breast.
We have started giving DS supper most nights - some apple and custard just before sleep to try to fill him up a bit. He still likes his very early morning BFs though.
We are heading off overseas in a week, and I have decided that I will really start this process once we get back. I'm dreading it though, it feels really mean.
