18 month old ds still up 3-ish times a night. Was 6-8 times a month for the first 6 months or maybe more- hardly remember the period. Has always been a milk monster day and night. Never slept through, has randomly done 1 wake a couple of times (but not in a row).
Unexpectedly, I've realised I don't want to stop breastfeeding him (yet) but am also ready to get a bit more sleep at night. When he wakes he usually asks for milk. Sometimes I can settle him without but when I do, he often wakes up half an hour later, give or take a bit. Night weaning will not be easy and I really want to believe that he is randomly just going to start sleeping through but it's not looking good, is it?
Co-sleeping all night is not an option for us as he is very fidgety and I'm a light sleeper. Since travel and sleep regression started a few weeks back will often end up in bed with me for the last few hours of the night but that's about all I can handle. He has fallen asleep independently for a long time now although current regression has seen that fall apart.
Any thoughts or advice?
