Well, I officially started night weaning my 15 month old last night!
I posted last week after we went to the dentist for his first check up and he has the beginnings of tooth decay on his front 4 teeth (sob). As the dentist put it, it's more likely caused by carby snack grazing and genetics than night nursing, but at this point it's important to do everything I can to halt the progression of decay.
Anyways, any tips on night weaning a toddler while still bedsharing?
Last night I started with not nursing to sleep and not nursing until after 1am. The problem was he woke up at 1205am, and never truly fell back into a deep sleep, he tossed and turned and would seem to be sleeping for a couple minutes and then flop around a little more. No real crying at this point at least. I wanted to make sure he truly fell all the way asleep before I nursed him again, but I ended up nursing him at some point between 1-2a, at which point he crashed. I was thinking tonight Ill make my cut off 2? And keep moving it ahead by 1 hour each night, unless it goes amazing and Ill jump it later.
