Sleep training phase 1

So I'm on a slow mission to night wean ds. He goes down to sleep okay but is up 2 or 3 times a night. Also he doesn't nurse/take bottles well during the day, so he can have room for momma's all night buffet. So now I don't let him nurse more then ten minutes. If he comes off then he gets put back to bed. Will see how it goes.

    Did not go well last night. Going to stick to it though. Once he is eating less then I will probably have to just stop.

    Good luck mama.  I night-weaned all at once.  LO was pretty angry with me for a few days.  She wasn't really eating though, just a couple of sips over a 10-20 min period every two hours.  Her appetite didn't really increase during the day, so I think she was mostly just nursing out of habit/sleep associations/comfort.  I envy your patience to do it in a much gentler way rather than my cold-turkey method.

    @napjunkie don't envy yet this is phase 1. In a few days the all night buffet will returning to normal business hours. Then I expect tears. I think I'm going to use Ferber. For phase 2

    Ferber is my best friend.  I didn't sleep more than a two-hour stretch for the first 8 months of Stella's life.  Then I read his book.  Seven nights later I had a baby that sleeps through the night.
