My 7 (nearly 8) month old has always been a bad sleeper, waking at worst 8+ times a night and at best (very rarely) 3 times. I always settle her with the boob and think this has become a habit now. She self settles for naps and at the start of the night but then wakes every 1-3 hours and will only settle with boob. She is doing really well with weaning and eats 3 big meals during the day plus around 3-4 breast feeds and a bottle of formula before bed. So I don't think she needs the calories! The only way I can think to improve her (and my) night sleep now is to try and night wean her. I'm doubting myself a little bit though as she's still quite little. Is she old enough? How should I do it? Go cold turkey? Offer water in a bottle?
