Night weaning my toddler...please help!
« on: February 28, 2006, 19:55:43 pm »
Hi Everyone...I could really use some advice on night weaning a toddler.  My dd is 22 months and I'm at my wits' end from lack of sleep.  She has a lot of trouble teething and wakes more right before one erupts, when it comes through she has a week or so of "only" waking to nurse once before another one is causing her pain.  She is working right now on her last canine and still has all 4 second year molars to go!

I weaned my ds when he was 23 months simply by not nursing him to sleep at nap/night times and he immediately slept through.  Mollie on the other hand DOES NOT nurse to sleep about 90% of the time.  Most of the time I sit w/her while she falls asleep in our bed (that's another issue:  I'd love to get her into her own bed), so I doubt that just taking away her before-bed-nursing would make too much of a difference.  Although I'd be willing to try it if anyone has had a similar experience!

I'd also like to move her into her brother's room...should I just do it all at once?

If anyone coud offer me any advice that would be great!  Thank you so much, Tiffany
