Stopping breastfeeding at night

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it just isn’t possible. They’re going to get upset, and that’s okay. It’s hard for us to hear them upset but it’s temporary. We’re forcing a change on them and they’re gonna be pissed! My LO was sooo upset when I night weaned but I started by weaning in the day first. He was around 18 months when I stopped and to day and night wean took around 4-6 weeks

5x per night at 14 months?? That's a lot

I agree with the first comment unless they self wean they will be upset. With my LO she was upset for about a week then got over it

I sort of disagree with the above comments about them being upset. You can slow the process right down and look into gentle weaning options including reading books, shortening feeds and habit stacking. Look into gentle weaning and it may give you somewhere to start. Also don’t try to wean without replacing the comfort with something else, that’s what habit stacking aims to do.

Also my 21 month old still feeds frequently at night, you’re not alone. And it’s not abnormal just because it seems like everyone else’s kids sleep through the night.

Im currently weaning mine, started by cutting down day feeds to zero replacing with milk in a beaker and snacks, and im just stopping nursing to sleep by warm milk in a teeted bottle and rocking to sleep but i have to admit im making sure shes super super tired and i feel bad but its only a short phase shes gonna be a bit sleep deprived to change her routine!! She sleeps through mostly but also just rocked at night and spoken to her gently / cuddled or last resort just put her in bed with me - we’ve had tears and screams - a lot, shes even lost her voice a bit through trial and error (daddy rocking etc) but you have to cause upset sometimes for changes and thats ok
