Should I night wean DD

[Motherofmonsters]

DD is 10months, breastfed on demand and rarely sleeps more than 2hours a night.

I don't want to do sleep training until she's a year as I think she's still quite young but I'm wondering if night weaning will help.

She doesn't always fall asleep on the breast, she usually gets really sleepy and then I just hold her for 10mins and then transfer.

Just wondering if she's to young/what are did you night wean

Around 10 months as well... he’s now 19 months and still wakes as often 😬 but...
Now my OH can go and see him too!!!!

I might weaned both of mine at around 13/14 months I think. I think by that age I was confident that were eating full meals in the day and I was ready to start stopping breastfeeding. We did it by my husband taking over in the night (initially while they got used to that I still fed them at bedtime), he just used to rock them or offer water but they pretty quickly stopped waking up. Then he took over at bedtime and did the same. I think it’s definitely helped having him do it as they couldn’t smell the milk and so there was no confusion or temptation for me to feed. It was very smooth both times and I didn’t feel they were really distressed or anything.

I can’t really comment on whether 10 months is too young or not, plenty of people do it earlier and plenty later. I had heard that if they’re waking frequently and you feed them back to sleep you might just replace that situation with one where you are just having to comfort them in some other way when they wake up and you no longer have bfing as an option. That wasn’t my experience but don’t know if that is more likely when they’re younger

We night weaned last week at 10 months. Spent a few weeks timing feeds during the day and logging food to check she was getting enough and then just stopped one night. She still wakes and I cuddle her to sleep again but I think it's making a bit of a difference. Might be coincidence but her first stretch of sleep is definitely getting longer.
