Title says it all really - DS is 21 months and breast-fed. I've always been relaxed about night-waking and pretty much feed on demand (although I work part-time).
He's currently waking once or twice a night for a very short feed (5 mins).
Anyhooooo, we are thinking about number 2 - I don't want to wean DS completely but I feel the time is right to start cutting down on his night feeds (and hopefully the night waking). The problem is that he goes back to sleep in 5 minutes with a feed, but withholding the breast results in prolonged hysterical screaming, so I've never stuck it out for long.
Any suggestions for strategies? I can't consider controlled crying I'm afraid - too wimpy - so please don't suggest it!
