    Unhappy I've started the process...

    I was going to let DS wean himself when ever he felt ready, but after 3 nights away to bring DH home to see the kids I decided since he survived those nights without it, I may as well start.

    Day 3 of only one feed at bed time. He only woke once last night, but he sleeps so light that if I move at all for about an hour after he wakes, he's crying again.

    He's settling quicker. Not very pleased about the whole thing. But he's ok. Sleeping alot better. Slept in his cot til 4am this morning! Normally he's back in my bed by 1am.

    Any support would be great Its a tad emotional. He'll be 20 months old in a couple weeks.

    He's asleep! No crash & burn at dinner time. He was asleep all by himself by about 1 o'clock. Still sleeping now at nearly 3.

    Well done for going almost 20 months. I'm sure you'll continue to have a special bond with him though.

    bfing jesse for almost 20 months (esp after reading about your experiences with the girls) is totally inspirational. what a fantastic start jesse has had!

    i can't imagine how emotional this part of the bfing journey must be, but hope you are hanging in there okay & that jesse keeps having some great sleeps for you!

    Well we went to a friends place last night, so he didn't go to sleep til late, but he slept through. In his cot.
    I'm going to try to keep going with the one night feed, but he didn't have it last night, so not sure.

    I can see myself going back...not sticking to it...offering again.
