Overnight breastfeeding 😅

Approaching two theres no real reason he should need an overnight feed other than habit and learned behaviour.

At 32weeks i think slowly cutting it down would put a lot of pressure on you but is also very feasible.

Wouldnt do cold turkey to him after this length of time and not sure how effective that would be if he sleeps.. next to the source of comfort

If you dont stop i imagine you will find it in you to tandem feed him and the newborn and manage just fine

When you really dont want to.. you guys w find what works best

I am in the same boat as you - apart from being pregnant.
Do you have a partner who could take over night duty for a while?
I was away for a few nights for work (not on a row) recently and my husband said it was surprisingly easy. He expected it to be much harder, but he just cuddled him when he woke up and had some water ready by the bed and he fell asleep almost right away.
I usually feed him before bed downstairs then my husband takes him upstairs and puts him to bed and when he wakes up during the night, I go over and feed/cuddle him.

I have a feeling that had I been gone for three consecutive nights or even better - a week - we would be done with nightfeeds now, but my husband insists he can't do nights while he works. 🙄 anyway, different topic!

Maybe try removing yourself during the nights, although if you still feed him morning and evening and tour milk is still there, then he probably falls back into the habit of overnight feeds as soon as you're back in bed together.

But if your milk dries up completely, then you can provide comfort without smelling like delicious milk (until the new baby arrives) and that's probably the least draining option for you

I’m also pregnant with very sore nipples! My son is boob obsessed and we’ve cut down slowly by dad co-sleeping with him and I sleep in another room. If he wakes up really upset I will feed him but this has taken us from 100 wakes a night to sleeping through or 1.. very occasionally two wakes.

When the baby comes dad will sleep with my son and I’ll sleep with the new baby so it worked with getting him prepared for that too.

Make sure dad has water ready as my son is very thirsty when he wakes x

I was in the exact same situation as you, my daughter is also a November 2023 baby.
I night weaned her cold turkey (ish) and it worked well.
I have had the book “booby moon” knocking around for a few weeks so that might have helped! Otherwise one night I just said to her “we’re going to have booby now for bedtime, but overnight, booby is going to be asleep.” She got a bit teary but went to sleep fine. Then I’ve just held the boundary. We had 3 nights of some crying (45 mins, then 10 mins, then a rougher night of 3h) and no drama since. She sleeps through quite often now but if she does want me, I just remind her booby is asleep and she lies down next to me and goes to bed. We still co sleep sometimes from her first wake. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought! If you’re ready then go for it! Good luck xx
