My LO went through sleep training at 4.5 months old and did really well. As per her temperament, she started crawling at 6.5 months and pulling herself at 7 months so now we're passed those developmental milestones. As of late she goes down at 7pm, wakes sometime during these intervals: 10-11, 2-3, and 5-6 and then is up for the day at 6:30-7ish. I fear I have started an irreversible habit: each time I wait 2 minutes maximum and then I go into her room and nurse her. She usually eats for a good 3-4 minutes max and then just kind of comfort nurses until I put her back into her crib and she (generally) falls right back asleep.

She's a champion napper (2.5-3-4 schedule) and doesn't need to be nursed to go down for naps. I do nurse her for bedtime but I think I could easily change that routine and it would be okay for her.

Does anyone have suggestions about which methods would be best to start night weaning or at least reduce the wake-ups? I am absolutely fine with one wake-up and nursing session!

Option 1: I still go in for each wake-up but cut down the time nursing by 1 minute (this would require a bit a wherewithal to figure out in the middle of the night but I think I could do it).

Option 2: Husband goes in for each night waking until its been 7-8 hours since last nursing (she has gone this long so I know she'll be okay) and just does modified ferber type comfort.

Option 3: Cold turkey CIO - I think I could stand 3 nights of this maximum but it would be really hard! I'm afraid she's used to eating at night and it would be a disaster and no one would sleep!

Thanks for your feedback to just another mama trying to get some sleep.
