Night weaning
Show your support
I'm sorry I have no advice but we are in exactly the same situation but I noticed yesterday our LGs second tooth has just popped through so I think it's all down to teething unfortunately 😩 So jealous of all that have babies that sleep through. It'd be nice for the feeds to disappear overnight Also this is my second baby, I've done nothing different from my first and my first slept through from 2m. I don't think there's any logic to any of it, our babies will just do what they want to do!!
I didn't think they should be night weaned until at least 1 years old
I don’t think you really can without removing the breast feeding entirely and dealing with some tough nights until she gets used to it and settles. It is completely normal for babies to still need feeds at night and this is such a big time for them developmentally so that also has an impact unfortunately. My girl stopped having night feeds at 2 months (formula fed) she then hit 6 months and would be up every single night for a feed again. It’s only the last week she has started sleeping through again, she has a pretty big dinner (mostly baby led but I’ve been adding some chunky puree so I can get more into her) and then a 210ml bottle which is a lot for her as 150 is usually her max and now she is sleeping through again except last night where she decided she needed to practice her rolling at 3am 🤦🏼♀️
Sorry your neighbours do what?! 😡
Not very considerate of your neighbours. As if a crying baby isnt stressful enough 😤 I also combi fed (formula in the day, breastfeeding at night). My baby girl stopped feeding in the night maybe 3 weeks ago now. I started off with the patting and shushing. The first 2 nights were hard. Then I ended up breastfeeding her once or twice in the night for the remaining 4 days. Its like she regressed but I think it was just a transition period. And then all of a sudden, she just started sleeping through the night. She still wakes up maybe 0-3 times in the night for her dummy, not sure how to wean off that. I still breastfeed before bed but slowly weaning off that too now. Not sure if any of that helps, but hopefully gives some hope that it will get better eventually x
@Emma oh gosh they’re an awful, hostile bunch. We’ve complained to their landlord and they’ve stopped the banging for now but I feel anxious and vulnerable nonetheless every time she cries in the night because of it 😞
@Lauryn it’s really interesting what you’ve said about breastfeeding as that’s my instinct too. When I stopped breastfeeding my first at 11 months, that’s when she started sleeping through. Also the practising of skills!! My LO has been blowing raspberries lol
@Serena thank you so much for this - I think I will try the same and hope for similar results 🙏
Forgot to mention that she’s on 3 meals a day (is a really good eater) and has enough bottles through the day. Also she puts herself to sleep from fully awake for naps and bedtime in her cot without a fuss so she does know how to fall asleep independently
