Cold turkey on night feeds?

Following, in the same boat 🎉

I've tried it... and it didn't go well 😬 she is sleeping through the night sort of about 60% of the time, but the nights that she does wake up, if I don't give her a bottle she's awake for about 2 and a half - 3 hours 😫

When my little one was younger I weaned him off but giving him a little less each night.

I just saw someone called ‘Hannah - Gentle Sleep consultant’ on TikTok talk about this - they don’t recommend cold turkey. There’s a weaning method by pushing the feed back to stop their little bodies trying to wake them up to feed

I gradually decreased amount of time he fed for then he slept thru 2 days on trot so didn't feed him overnight anymore

Following as same here!

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps:

"It's great to hear that your little boy is eating well throughout the day! To help him stop waking for milk at night, you might consider gradually reducing the amount of milk he gets during those night wakings. This can be done by offering less milk each night or diluting it with water over time.

Another approach is to comfort him in other ways, like soothing him back to sleep without offering milk, which can help him learn to self-soothe. Many parents have successfully transitioned away from night feeds by being consistent with these methods.

Have you noticed any specific triggers that lead to his night wakings, or does he wake up at the same time each night?"

I went cold turkey on night feeds but what helped was her dad taking over the night shift. With me she won’t stop screaming till she got milk but her dad won’t budge so she knows she just has to sleep. We keep a banana by the bed now in case she is actually very hungry but no milk during the night
