@travelgirl1: no you are not a total cow! It's difficult to say when the right time for sleep training is and it depends on the child so much. One thing to consider is that to some extent there is always something going on with lo's, teething, Separation anxiety, travel etc. so sooner or later you just have to go for it!

For the record-- night nursing does not necessarily=cavities. I nursed Ellie in the night until she was an ungodly age and she has never had a single one. Lorelei just had her first check recently, and her teeth are fantastic, as well. If you are really concerned, they have those little dental wipes you can use.

If you really want or feel like you need to get her sleeping on her own, do what you have to do. Many moms who night-wean swear by having their parners handle the wake-ups. I can't give you any practical advice on that end because I've never done either.

Would your LO respond to you reading to her or maybe just working on rocking, rather than nursing to sleep?

Miss A has wicked separation anxiety at night at the moment and it sucks so I feel your pain

@TRAVELGIRL1 - gotcha. I totally understand. I sometimes feel like I am at my wits end with nursing through the night and co-sleeping. I wish you lots of good luck!!
