Hi,
DS is 22 months. I've worked full time for the last year, and over the last few months I've been "not offering" as encouragement to wean.
This has been a bit of a disaster - I now have a bub who is pretty much weaned by day unless he's really tired or sad, and feeds 3-6 times a night. Co-sleeping makes it a bit more bearable - but I'm sore and tired.
Last night I tried the "water and cuddles" at 3am, after he had already had 3 feeds in the night and things were pretty empty. Despite every trick DH and I know, we had an awake, grumpy kid until 9am.
He self-settles for naps during the day, and only feeds until mostly asleep at night. And when I leave for work in the morning he'll happily go back to sleep for 4 or more hours. But the nights are a mess!
thanks
Kate
