Help me with stopping night feeding

[Littlejayx]

Please can somebody explain how they stopped breast feeding to sleep and through the night?

I’m planning on just going cold turkey with her, she’s never slept for more than 4 hours and I’m sure it’s my fault for being lazy and not stopping sooner 😩

Can anyone give me any advice ???

How old is she?

Sorry that would have helped!

She’s 15 months and has a big bottle of cows milk before bed. I don’t know where I’m going wrong.

I can’t blame her, it’s all she knows

How old is she?

Within my first baby I went cold turkey on overnight feeds and feeding to sleep when he was 9-10 months old because his sleep was ATROCIOUS because of it.

That was four years ago and I now have another baby. Current baby is 14 months old, is still breast fed to sleep, we co-sleeep and he still wakes up 3-4 times a night.

Part of me knows I should do with this one what I did with my first but I just can’t bring myself to do it this time round. I think it’s because I know this baby will be my last so want to just let things happen in their own time.

I hate being so knackered all the time though

Following as my son is nearly 3 and still feeding in the night. I'm so weak 😂🙈🙈

Pick a week - agree it with DH.

Cold turkey. Send DH in every time - at first with a bottle but then with a shush pat instead.

Take a look at Jay Gordon's night weaning method. It's gentle but effective, we did it with DD at a similar age and it worked a treat. Didn't get her out of our bed but it definitely stopped the frequent night waking for boob.

I am honestly exhausted, I work full time and am doing college after work and I’m becoming a horrible cranky gremlin 😩.

It’s when I pop in to shush her, I end up giving in because I’m so tired !

I’ve had a look at dr jay it seems good will try tonight! She’s out of my bed but now I’m in hers 😂

I did it at 14 months with both mine . Started by spacing out the feeds by if they wake then cuddle instead of feed until a certain time . They stopped waking as much and eventually cut last feed out . First couple of nights were tough with lots of crying but didn’t take long for them to get used to it .

Cry it out worked for us and wasn't actually awful.

Place marking! My DS is 1 next week and am planning to go cold turkey on breastfeeding. His sleep is atrocious and I have to do something as can no longer function!

With DD I stopped at 13 months; I was away for two nights and then DH took over bedtimes for a week. Am planning to do the same in November, I have a weekend away with DD so it's over to DH...i thought stopping feeding with DD would be harder than it was but she seemed ok with it. Didn't mean her sleep got much better but it was a small improvement!

Good luck...
