Need help! My almost 1 year old has been dependant on breastfeeding through the night and is his only way of soothing.
This is my third child and the other two were sleeping through the night by 3 and 5months but he is still waking up and feeding or just soothing throughout the night. (I sleep on a floor bed with him)
It’s rough as he won’t let me rock him or try to change any soothing method. He has a madddd scream that busts eardrums and just absolutely looses it. I can’t help but just cave in especially when I’m half asleep in the middle of the night.
I really need advice and to hear if anyone has had the same experience and what they did?. Just struggling right now with this and need to get him off the boob at night.

Can anyone look after him for you so you are not there? If we reach that point my plan is a night or two away.

Okay we actually tried this the last two nights. And he’s been doing great! He wakes up and cries for a bit maybe like 5 minutes then goes back to sleep. I was having my husband put him to bed and be there incase he needed to go in at night. I was just way over stressed about this.
