Night weaning?

Hi lovely mamas, My LB is nearly 20 months old and I am getting to a stage of severe sleep deprivation and I am now considering to start night weaning. We co-sleep and he can access boobies whenever he pleases, which pretty much means I am a human dummy. I love breastfeeding and I am hoping to let him self wean, but I have to do something about night time as he wakes up loads of times, I work full time and I am just knackered. Any suggestions? I would of course like to approach this in a gentle way and the less tears the better :)

No advice, I'm on the same boat! Although my LB recently has only started waking up once or so after his most recent teeth came down.

I'm going to this workshop soon to find out more on this subject, might help you? X https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0dMTdahrApaSJwJbNwxrP353c6gV9hFqk1E8LkePw2L1T6tA7SChvbrN8Ck8HsyEMl&id=100054342381251

@Roisin in all fairness, my LB generally does the same, wakes up a couple of times and because he's already in my bed, after he's done with the boob he just rolls away and falls back asleep and so do I. He's now got a canine coming through and his eczema has flared up and he is super itchy, so I think BF might actually not be the biggest problem here, but we need a solution for his eczema really

@Iona ah,, thank you so so much for sharing, I'll definitely attend one of these!

@Emms have to tried the porridge oats in the tights in the bath before bed yet?

@Roisin yes he's had oat baths, prescribed emollients, prescribed corticosteroid cream, prescribed antihistamines.. its just the cold dry weather has really done a number on him and nothing seems to be working at the moment. We also take him swimming once a week and sometimes the chlorine makes the eczema flare up but he loves it so much, I cannot make him skip more than one lesson. Someone on here recommended clothes designed specifically to help with eczema, I am desperate so I am giving that a shot, trying them on for the first time tonight! 🤞
