Is it possible to might wean breastfed baby and still co sleep?

[SunnySide1992]

Hey everyone! DD is 17 months, a bit of a boobie monster! Will always feed to sleep and wakes up alot at night! Even if she eats well during the day so assuming it's just habit and comfort?
Basically I want to night wean but would like to carry on co sleeping as I don't want to take away all her comforts at once!

Any tips greatly appreciated 🙏 🙂
She won't take a bottle, will have a sippy cup =) and doesn't take a dummy. Have tried a comforter blanket/soft toy but she just throws them away 😅

My toddler night weaned themselves at 19m and we often still co-sleep. Will still wake me up, but almost always to ask for the sippy cup for water or to cuddle. I do still see breastfeeding as being about so much more than milk though so will give boob if poorly or asks for it.

I have my doubts as to how easy this would be if your daughter still asks for milk overnight...but perhaps you could try to replace with offering water for every other feed. She isn't waking because she is having night feeds, it's the other way round so working on wake windows etc is (slightly) more within your control than toddler sleep I think.

Yes. Look up Jay Gordon's method.

It's surprisingly easy to nightwean by the way. I followed this method but don't bedshare but I think it would be probably easier bedsharing. You just have to stick to it and not back down. They get the idea pretty quickly.

Yes, using Jay Gordon’s methods as above. It basically comes down to saying no, and sticking to it. Offering other comfort is fine but basically you are saying no and comforting through the tears.

Brilliant I will have a look at that! Thanks! 😀

@SunnySide1992 did it work? Thinking about this for my 19 month old
