DD is 27 months and still breastfeeding last thing at night (but not to sleep, she goes in her cot awake) and when she wakes in the night. A good night is one wake up, a quick feed and back into cot but most nights I’m up with her for an hour as she feeds and faffs and wants more. I’m not totally convinced night weaning will stop her waking though and wonder if I’m shooting myself in the foot by taking away a method of getting her back to sleep. But it’s starting to do my head in- I think it’s almost waking her up more than is necessary. Any tips? DH can’t settle her at night anymore- she used to nod back off for him a dream but now she screams for me and milk. She never feeds in the day any more and I’m happy to keep the before bed feed. We do often talk about how mummy’s milk is running out so we save it for bedtime and I leave her a cup of water in her cot. But as soon as she wakes she just demands milk and gets hysterical!
