C nursed until 18 months but she started Sttn on her own around 9 months. She occasionally would wake up and if I went in for the first few months, she would still want to nurse, but if DH went in she would be ok snuggling.

She's been weaned for a few months now and unfortunately, has been waking up more during the night than she did at a year. She will be 2 next week and is getting her 2 year molars so hoping it's a short phase!

@matador84: oh, but I had to stop nursing to sleep much earlier. She just stopped staying asleep when we transfered her so we had no choice really. But I think the shock of waking up no snugged up with you could be part of the problem?

My big girl still had a night feed until she was around fifteen months old. In her case, she was dropping day feeds but not compensating with extra calories from solids so she was genuinely hungry. Once she really upped her solid intake she woke for cuddles for a wee while then just stopped waking all together.

E will be 18 months next month. He nurses last at 11pm then sleeps until 8am. It started last month.

i weaned at 26 months. she slept thru at 16 months when we sleep trained. we sleep trained at 13 months, but she was so sick in the winter through 14-15 months. i def think she would have slept better at night without the nursing.

@matador84: my DD is 19, almost 20, months and she usually STTN (for the past 4 months or so). BUT if she wakes in the night and can't settle herself back to sleep, nursing is the ONLY thing that works. I've tried multiple times to send DH in and she just ends up shrieking "Mommy! Milk! MOMMY! MILK!" until I nurse her. I can't bring myself to let her scream so I always give in. Fortunately it's getting less frequent as she gets older but I have no clue what we'll do when she weans completely.
