Yep - Tallon still wakes for booby - altho, not quite as much since the nights have been warmer. He still co-sleeps with us most of the time, so I don't usually have to wake up too much to feed him. He throws himself around a bit too - I'm getting him sick of pushing his legs into my back, and of course into my belly if I'm facing him!
I don't have any suggestions. Is she perhaps waking because she's in your room? I do sometimes think Tallon wakes coz he's next to us in bed.. altho I've tested that theory, putting him in his own bed, but he wakes and comes into us LOL. We're actually going through more of a comfort stage than feeding through the night.. he wakes and puts his arm out to hold me or grab my hair ( ) and goes back to sleep - so doesn't always require boob these days.
Ooh - Cyathea - how do you go waking to 2? I'm thinking this will probably be me in 4 months time LOL. Do you co-sleep as well? (sorry Lulu - bit of a hijack there )
Lucy, do you think you are ready for night weaning? Many women do this at about that age, but continue to bf during the day. Most of the people I know who have done it, found it really easy, their kids gave up night feeds really easily, but a couple found it harder.
If you are interested in going down that path, the ABA can give you some great tips. I think there are two ways to go about it - a feeding exclusion time which gradually gets longer - say no feeds between 11pm and 3am, to start with as an example. The other way is to give a little less at each night feed each night. The theory is that they then drink more during the day for what they aren't having at night and then don't need a night feed at all. HTH.
