[moljam]

ds is 21 months old.he slept brilliantly till 8 months then stopped.he goes to sleep with milk wakes for it average of 6 times(good night is twice)so tonights the night,were removing bottle and doing cc.i have 2 other children and feel im not being best i can by lack of sleep.2 nights ago he slept all night,hed had no nap(usually has 2 hours) so yesterday i tried him with only 15 minutes nap but he woke all night.the night he slept through made me realise he can get through night without milk so here we are!

hope it goes well, moljam. He can go through the night without milk - the trick is persuading him he wants too.

moljam - you can do it. And more importantly your ds can do it! He will resist, no doubt. It will be noisy and heartbreaking and at times unbearable. But if you are set on doing cc then it is well worth it imho. I did it when ds was 8mths and it was like a miracle. It was hard. Very hard. I felt dreadful. Like the worst mum on the planet. But after a week or so (getting better night by night) he slept soundlly for 11 hours . Now he loves his cot and we are all happy bunnies! Good luck.

how did it go, Moljam?
