is it ok for me to stop feeding dd in the night? and how on earth do i do this?!

[multicolourcat]

Just that really. We are having a hard time in the night, with lots of waking and I am struggling a lot right now

She is 8MO, has 3 meals a day:
breakfast weetabix with milk and banana and a bit of toast
lunch cauliflower cheese with pasta and yoghurt and fruit
dinner spaghetti bolognaise with pasta plus rice cake and fruit

she also has a breastfeed 4 times a day (morning, mid morn, midarvo and bedtime)

and she is waking every 3 hours in the night and I am feeding her. i am cream crackered, not feeling well with the tiredness. I won't let my DD cry for long at all, as she gets really upset quite quickly. She has slept through the night before, but not since 12 weeks, and a couple of months ago would sleep for maybe 5 hours at a time.

I want to night wean, but I am worried about not feeding her if she is actually hungry. Does anyone have experience or knoweldge of this? I would be most grateful....especially if it means I get some more sleep

Also....how do i night wean !

I went cold turkey at nearly 10 months, with some CC asnobly the boob would settle him at night. I am not saying this is the best way to do it, but it seemed like a small miracle at the time as he did self settle a lot after this. 2 months on thiugh he still doesn't consistently sleep through and I don't leave him to cry now, too upsetting! so I spend a lot more time settling him- we have nights when he sleeps through and then the next night he'll wake lots. I haven't gone back to feeding him though - it was clear he wasn't hungry. He likes water in the night though. I don't get him out of his cot ever (unless unwell), as at the beginning he would think he was going to be fed, and I've just carried on doing this.

Asnobly?? as only!
