I posted here before about how my little one is a bit of a milk monster. So I decided to night wean him (cold turkey - no milk between midnight and 6am. I know that's not amazing but it would be sooo much better than before!).
But it's been a week of this night weaning now and he just cries on and off between midnight and 6. It's hell! I have him in bed with me as I haven't done cry it out with him and am not keen to.
We've both got a bad cough and conjunctivitis at the moment too. I can't recover because I don't get proper sleep... He's miserable all night. I just don't know if it's worth it when a feed would just put him back to sleep again instantly!
Anyway. I'm wondering if he's just not ready to night wean?! If he hasn't improved after a week, perhaps that means something...
Anyone had any similar experiences?
Or how long did it take you to night wean your one-year-olds?
Or did anyone's toddlers just get there on their own?
