When/how to night wean? How to stop co sleeping?

[SunnySide1992]

Hey everyone so I have lots of questions!

My DD is 10 months old, exclusively breastfed, co sleeps (not well) has never slept well!

We have a good bedtime routine and naptime during the day. She will normally have a hour nap 10-11 and then 30 minutes 3-3.30. Bedtime around 7.30.

She will sleep till about 10/11 then it starts......she wakes and wakes and wakes! The only thing that settles her is the boob. We have a cot attatched to the side of our bed but I feel like she needs more room so was hoping to try and get her to sleep in her room in her big cot.

So where do i begin?
Ps I'm not a fan of any crying out method! I'm willing to be up most the night if thats what it takes.

I moved DS to a toddler bed in my room and he went from waking two hourly to sleeping through from the first night. He cried for five minutes for two or three nights. He was two and a half so understood though.

My DD is 11 months tomorrow and I could have written your post exactly.
I have put a mattress on the floor next to a toddler bed and we have been trying that for the past week, she is still waking none stop for milk.

Any advice at all on night weaning would be so helpful!! Otherwise just solidarity

I co slept until nearly 10 months. She started to get very wriggly and on/off the boob a lot. I moved her to her cot in her room - first couple of nights I placed her in her bedside crib that she used sometimes, inside the cot. I went to her every time she cried and fed her back to sleep. I noticed the length between wake ups lengthening. I think the smell of the milk had been waking her when we were close. I night weaned around 16 months and that stopped the final remaining wake up. I also spoke to her a lot about what was going to happen - pointing to her cot, telling her I'd be watching and I'd come if she needed me. I never have, or will, let her cry it out. Best of luck to you.

@SunnySide1992 how are you getting on?

I've decided to start thinking about night weaning and came across your (oldish) post. Any tips?
