Night weaning.

rp-chicago-mom · March 2013

We've started CIO. We don't have a problem with going to sleep but staying asleep. I'm doing one wake up at a time. So he still wakes up the rest of the night. We have been through the third night rebellion when he cried fifteen minutes. Really, he is responding well. He doesn't work himself into hysterics like I thought he would. But he is still waking up three times.

Is it better to cut out one waking at a time? Or should I be working on more than that? What has worked for you? I can't decide if letting him nurse other times just confuses him [why does she get me this time but not the other?]. Sorry for the rambling and incoherent aspect of this. Hopefully I made some sense. Thanks.

Cut your nursing sessions down by 1 or 2 minutes every couple of days. Eventually he won't want to wake up for it.

This worked for ds. He was nursing every 2 to 3 hours, now he nurses every 5 to 6 hours.

We started Ferber last week and we are down to only one waking a night now. She was previously waking a minimum of 3-5 times a night (eating at least two or three times).

I would normally feed her the earliest at 12 so I pushed that feeding to 2a
