Since I started to wean my son he started to wake during the night we are now on month 2 of constant night waking we also have 2 other children 2 yo and 4 yo . Usually I try feeding when my son wakes - me and my husband agreed about a week ago to start using 1 bottle of formula to dream feed. It’s gone I’m seconds ! But made no difference to the night walking. I have had twitchy eyes for 2 weeks now. My mind is so exhausted constantly. And my husband if fed up of sleeping on the sofa. Has anyone got any suggestions on this difficult predicament. Apologies for it’s all being a bit doom and gloom post. I try my best to stay positive but I am soo tired now

8-10 mo sleep regression (and probably the 6 mo one nobody talks about too)

It is a very intense period of development and it affects sleep. Night feeds are a way to get babies back to sleep but not why they wake

We night weaned at 9 months, I was broken. He is EBF and was waking 8 times a night. Now gets up once.

Can I ask how you did it/how long it took? Currently BF back to sleep my 8.5 mo who is up usually anywhere between 5-15 times a night. Last night it was 10 😩 so drained and I’m going back to a demanding full time job tomorrow!
