We just did night 3 of night weaning and it seems to be getting worse? We had more wakeups than ever. Night 1 was messy but night 2 we saw progress - he slept for 3 hours straight.
Is this normal?
We are night weaning my breastfed 11 month old son starting tonight. Plan to go cold turkey. He’s always been a pretty bad sleeper and never sleep trained. He’s clearly habit waking every hour or so because he’s usually fed back to sleep. He eats very well in the day and I know he doesn’t need to feed in the night.
My plan with my partner is to split the night and share the wakings and basically comfort him as much as we can. We believe we have sleep pressure all correct so I really do think he’s waking from habit.
Not got my hopes up, not expecting this to fix the sleep but want to try.
Has anyone got any tips or advice or positive stories? Thanks
Please could you tell me your experiences with night weaning a breastfed baby? My son is 11 months old and wakes honestly about 5-8 times a night, we think it’s a habit because I always feed him back to sleep in the night. I’m hoping to stop breastfeeding after he turns 1 because I’m so done with it. So this obviously means night weaning him. I’m thinking of stopping night feeds cold turkey because he has no real set wake times, he’s so unpredictable.
Has anyone had any experience of this? Did night weaning help with the night wake ups at all
