Starting dr jay Gordon night weaning tonight - support wanted

[megandraper]

Dd is 16 mths and still needs to be fed back to sleep several times a night. Next fri I have to stay away a night for work. Also this week half term so less worried about waking her brothers.

So - have picked my 7 hour slot as 10.45 to 5.45 between those hours I can feed her but have to stop before she falls asleep and then not feed her again until she has slept.

Clever girl woke at 10.41 s feeding her back to sleep for last time tonight. It is going to be a painful night. Really can't see her falling asleep without bf.

That's brilliant! It must feel like quite an achievement. DD has NEVER slept through so 7pm-4am would make me feel positively giddy!

Have found the online PDF so might look to use that as a starting point. Maybe in Jan when DH is off work to make it easier for us.

Good luck - hope it works out for you.

It's designed for family bed, he's quite a big believer in it, so if you're ready to try it, then go for it. Maybe start it on a Friday if you're worried about disturbing his sleep, only usually takes a couple of nights to get into it and as baby is next to you they're not so stressed because you can comfort them.
