Hi,
I've had another post on this topic in night waking as my lg keeps waking around 4.30-5.30. I've been feeding her and she goes straight back to sleep. Until recently she would feed back to sleep on the boob at this time but it is the only feed to sleep of the day. All naps and bt is independent.
She does baby led weaning so I've been conscious of this and the fact that she won't be eating as much as a traditionally weaned baby. I do think now she is eating enough during the day to not need a night feed.
She isn't really screaming at her wake up but she moans and won't go back to sleep. I've sent the oh in her settle her back to sleep but it doesn't seem to work at this time.
I want to do a gradual wean of this feed so I have been timing it. It is 4.30mins of active sucking, 1.30mins slower sucking/comfort so last night I cut the whole feed to 4.30mins and put her back in the cot awake. She went back to sleep after 5 mins and a short moan/cry.
If I keep reducing the feed by a min every few days do you think this will work? Any other tips?
Thanks
