Thanks. I've gone through the no-cry toddler book, and used the not-feeding-completely to sleep from there. But I can't seem to get him to do the next step of going back to sleep without feeding - or more accurately of waking up without then tugging on me, yelling "booboos" and refusing to lie down unless they are provided! I used to be able to feed him and then roll over and he'd cuddle up and go to sleep - but now when I roll over he's pulling at me to roll me back. He also seems to wake up and demand feeding more times a night than he used to.
I would like him to wean fully over the next few months - but in the meantime I would like him to get back to bedtime and morning feeds, rather than all night feeding. And I would like him to not comfort suck so much that I end up sore.
He's strange - he'll settle beautifully for DH if I'm not there (i.e. out of the house), but he has a really strong association of nighttime sleep with me. I think I have got to the point Elizabeth P describes as "your boobs are your child's teddy".....
