To think stopping breastfeeding will stop DD's hourly awakenings at night?

DD is 12 months. Wakes up every hour at night and has been waking up for the past 6 months or so.

She has multiple allergies, all under control now. Drs can't find a medical reason for the awakenings. I'm exhausted. I don't think I have the strength to do sleep training. However, going cold turkey with breastfeeding is possible.

If I stop breastfeeding will this put an end to her hourly awakenings at night or will it just make things worse? I feel a bit guilty to stop due to the allergies, as breast milk will probably be most beneficial for her?

Shine, you might not be able to tell unless your DD can tell you.DS doesn't have any visible reaction to beans, but they give him a sore tummy and make his throat tight.

Lentils, chickpeas and beans are legumes like soya.

I had this when DD was about 11mo. I started replacing every other feed with water then only offering water at night, it didn't take too long either.

However, I co slept so it was less effort to settle her.
