Have been trying PPO last 3 days/nights (with some other NCSS tactics), but things seem to be getting worse ds used to suck to sleep, continue sucking in sleep, then eventually pull off by himself and turn over to deep sleep for ~ 1-2 hours. I want to break the suck to sleep association, so am trying PPO.

But with PPO he's harder to settle to sleep and wakes up more upset and earlier (20mins-1 hour!). I worry that perhaps I'm doing it wrong and pulling him off too early, so he wakes up sooner because he's hungry. But if I leave it any longer he's asleep (but still drinking) and I disturb him more. But perhaps he's just adjusting? Has anyone else tried PPO and how did it go? How do you pick the perfect moment to start PPO?

Hi can I jump in and ask how you're all getting on?

Um... have basically given up! Couldn't get the timing right, either waited too long so just as we were before, or took him off too early which resulted in super hungry ds waking more frequently than ever So back to feeding to sleep. Am really hoping there will be a magic change in sleeping when we start weaning in a month...

Hi, Pantly pull off worked well for me from about 10 months. just took a few weeks I think, and yes, you have to wait until they have stopped swallowing, or the gaps between swallows have got much bigger. it was definitely a gentle way to get him from being addicted to falling asleep on the boob - it was a while ago now though, so it may have taken longer than a few weeks, sorry I can't rememeber - but if you persist it may well eventually work
good luck
