Hello, so I have decided the time has come to take a pro active approach to night weaning my 10 month old! I kept hoping she would drink less milk on her own at night but it's not happening. In fact after having only one wake up a night between 6-9 months she has started waking twice a night again grrrrrr! But only about 50% of the time I'd say.
She is formula fed and I'm planning on a gradual approach rather than going cold turkey, by gradually reducing the amount of milk I offer her, eventually just offering some water. My question is - given some nights she wakes once, some twice, which feed should I tackle first? Her wake up times are really irregular. I was thinking if she wakes before midnight I'd try and reduce that one first, on the basis that if she then has a second wake up (which would probably be around 5am) it will be harder to settle her without milk because she will be hungrier. But! By trying to reduce the earlier feed am I just encouraging her to wake a second time?! As she only wakes twice about half the time and I don't really want to encourage it!
Help! Any advice appreciated x
