DD is 14 months. I'm 14 weeks pregnant. A few weeks ago we decided to night wean her because I just can't take feeding her in the night any more. At first she took to it quite well; went from waking 3 times to 2 and would settle back down just with a cuddle.
Now she won't have it. Screams and gets hysterical if me or her dad try to settle her with cuddles. The only way she'll calm is with feeding but I physically can't do it, the irritation is like nothing I can describe, I almost want to just push her out of bed sometimes.
She sleeps in our room still, we take it in turns for bedtime (though I do most of them) and she will go in her cot for the first part of the night. Then first waking is anywhere between 12 and 2.
I just don't know what to do. I've read the Jay Gordon method, it isn't going to work on her. I don't know if she's absolutely ready to night wean but I definitely am and I feel like I'm at breaking point.
