Would love some advice on how you night weaned. My little girl is 12 months and has always been a bad sleeper, she has never slept more than a couple of hours in a row at night. She had silent reflux and still has cmpa... She is also a live wire and finds it hard to switch off....
We Co slept completely and part of night since 6 months.... Recently she is in her cot in our room but as she wakes pretty much every hour she usually ends up in our bed at some point.
My goal is to mostly night wean and move her into her own room (she is a very sensitive sleeper so as well as her own numerous waking, my hubby or I also wake her when we turn over /go to the loo etc etc)
She likes to nurse everytime she wakes up. At bedtime we do pj's teeth brushing then into room (has to be blackout), I nurse and tell her the same story and have her sleep music on, she doesn't normally feed fully to sleep, but until drowsy then I hold her for a bit and put her in her cot with her dummy, sometimes she stirs when I put her down but then just turns over and goes to sleep. She normally wakes about 6 to 10 times per night. Bedtime is 7pm and she naps 12-2 in her pram.
I,m thinking of using a version of Dr Jay gordon and setting a time eg 12-6 when I don't nurse but comfort, but I know it will be hard and would like to feel that it would potentially work... Anyone any experience?
Or I thought perhaps I would set a shorter time, eg no feeds 11-4 but if its been a very rough night just bring her in with me at 4,but then I don't want to confuse her.....
I,d really appreciate any ideas or advice!!
Thank you!!!!
