Okay, DD is 12.5 months and still waking up at least once in a 12 hour period overnight (twice a night the last two weeks with travel and teething). previously, I had always nursed her and put her back down bc it was the quickest way and she rarely ever got up and stayed up to party, etc. she always nurses well and then goes right back to bed.

I was waiting it out as they say, hoping she would drop that 1 MOTN feeding/wake up on her own. But after a rough week of travel and bad sleep habits and another of teething and bad sleep habits, I'm going to give her another week or two of our regular routine to get back on track and then I need to get serious about this STTN business that everyone talks about!

my question is this: if i simply night wean, aka: when she wakes up, don't feed her but comfort her otherwise until she gets the message that there is no more milk in the MOTN, will she STTN? or am i still going to have to deal with MOTN wake ups that are long and arduous bc now i'm not nursing?

when you night weaned, did LO STTN? How old were they?

** yes, i realize this is a loaded question and different for every child. i'm finally okay with her getting enough nutrition during the day (girl is 75th percentile, i think she's alright. ) and want to get a full night's rest! i also realize that others would have done this forever ago, but right now feels right for us!
