My plan to wean the night feeds

[~clover~]

Good luck hun. Jesse gets hysterical if I try to refuse. & won't be cuddled without it, so makes it harder.

That sounds pretty good Kelebek!
Same thing has happened to me many times re the 2:30 thinking it's at least 4.
Good luck for tonight

lol he has his days where he is good, often he will sleep for an hour and then sometimes I can feed him back to sleep sometimes he will have a feed and get up

Well last night he didn't feed overnight, he woke at 12am as usual and as he had pooed I had to change his nappy which woke him up so I thought I was really strong not feeding him back to sleep. I layed down with him and he rolled and tossed and layed on me and when he got off the bed I put him back in the cot, there were some tears so I got up and we layed back down in the bed. He rolled and tossed some more but went to sleep

I think this is a great step and I am just going to keep not feeding at that first wake up and see how we go.

Yay! Go girl!!

I am pleased to post that while he did wake up at 12am again I was able to resettle him without feeding him. He did have a cry/grizzle but it would have been 5 mins at the most. I left him to it and went back to my bed. Then he woke up at 4 am, I did feed him and slept the rest of the night but at least for the last 3 or 4 nights we have cut out the 12 am feed hoping he keeps this up and stops waking for this feed altogether

Yay!!

That's great - well done!

[~Kaz~]

Whoohoo!! Well done!

he has not had an 12 am feed in almost 2 weeks yay and last night he slept until 5 am before waking. I just have to remember to go to bed earlier so I can take advantage of this too.

He also had an eye tooth come through throughout this process - I am so proud of my boy.

He did feed 3 times before getting up but I am ok with that, I would rather feed back to sleep at that time of the morning or he would be ready for the day and I am definitely not.

we keep up the good work.

I will be happy to keep feeding if he can keep this up I didn't want to have to go cold turkey
