OMG this is just what I needed to see. My son is 19m and I am about to nightwean. We cosleep and he nurses ALL night long, wakes up hourly or just wants to be latched. This gives me hope lol, it's so hard to find information / experiences from other moms who have babies like mine. Thank you for posting

[@toscyy]

How did it work out for you?? I’ve been struggling to wean for over a year now, I love to hear success stories!!

[@kristen8484]

@@toscyy ummm...well....he is almost 2.5 and not night weaned lol. He is day weaned but yeah...

[@toscyy]

@@kristen8484 I’m in the same boat!!! Minus naps… my son is over 2.5 now😅😅 I’m starting to think that I may do things differently with baby #2, because the transition out is wayyy too hard.

[@soe8888]

@@kristen8484 u have to be reaaaallly consistent. No matter how much your lo cries you have to show YOUR boundaries that YOU dont feel comfortable anymore. Its really important for our children to learn that mon also has boundaries feelings and the right to her own body

[@christinaquintero6713]

We have to show them that it's not a punishment it's just time for a change you the both of us😊

[@mikeandaszj6475]

Hi friends! I wanted to give a little update :) She's been night weaned for almost 2 weeks now and has started consistently sleeping from 7:30pm-12:30am at which point she wakes, and I bring her in with me. I still don't feed her until after 6am the next day which means she's without milk from 7:30pm-6am or later the next day... amazing! Soon we will work on pushing the 6am feed later but for now, it's working great!

[@iepurasul19]

Does she fall asleep?

[@bernaozkan3966]

This is the most loving night weaning video I have seen. After watching other videos, it never sat right with me. It felt like some other people would be getting between me and my baby girl. Thank you for sharing your experience 🌸

[@Jessssicadanielle]

This is definitely the best night weaning video on KZbin!! Every other video I saw mentioned CIO (despite bed sharing) and that doesn’t vibe with me. Cuddles & rocking sounds like it’ll work best. Thank you so much for sharing! 🤍🤍

[@niluferakpnar9064]

Hi. What is CIO?

[@catherinetuwi6267]

Thanks for sharing. My daughter is 21months old, cosleeps and feeds every few hours (some nights more frequently). This gives me hope that night weaning is possible. Thank you for the glimmer of hope in the sleep deprived exhaustion.

[@nataliebembridge2990]

How did it go pls I'm in the same boat boat

[@brianna2244]

This came at the perfect time ! My girl is 18 months old . And we co sleep and breastfeed all through the night . I’m ready to night wean . Thank you so much !

[@nonamorales9501]

Thank you so much for this! I’m so exhausted and overwhelmed with night weaning.

[@CassiaCheercasper]

Thank you so much, I feel so seen hearing about your daughters sleep ❤ my son is 18 months aswell and wakes up exactly as much as your daughter did before you weaned her. I'm starting night weaning tonight after thinking about it for months!

[@mikeandaszj6475]

Good luck mama! 💗

[@keaylee1]

Thank you for this! Were starting night weaning next week. My son is almost 13 months and mama is ready…nervous for the first few nights of tantrums but he will get it. I know it. ❤️

[@victoria-gy6gh]

This is so encouraging to me! My son is 15 months and nurses constantly through the night still.. I just found out that I am pregnant with our second and knew that it was time to start the process of night-weaning... I don't know that I could handle a toddler nursing on me every hour and a newborn at the same time. We also bedshare, so I was just so nervous about how I should go about it. Thank you for sharing your experience! It gives me hope!

[@ladylove9641]

Hi in the chance you see this a year later…I am in this boat currently pregnant & 13mo old nurses through night. I’m going to try this method. I’m curious how it worked out for you & how did you cut the day feeds if there were any? What’s life like now 😅

[@minimize0875]

Thank you for this video.. my girl is 17 months old now and my situation is very similar to yours! I’ve actually tried this method around one month ago.. it was good at first (I mean yes, the struggle is real) but I’m not being consistent enough because after a week or so, I gave in and feed her again two to three times midnight, and that eventually lead back to old habits (which is every one to two hour feed all night, yeah, especially 4 to 7am). The reason i gave in initially was because some days, she just wouldn’t properly finish her meal, and I’m worried that she’ll be hungry in the middle of the night. I guess I’m wrong now, because you mentioned that your baby is eat so much more now throughout the day, it was such a relief to hear that, because I also always thought that maybe my daughter is not really into eating much food yet or maybe she’s nursing all night long so she isn’t eat much during the day. Now everything seems to come into senses. Thank you very much. I finally hear this from a real mom facing a very similar scenario in a very similar sleeping conditions. Even pediatrician can’t help me with her advice. Really glad to have found your video because it gives me courage to try again with the same method and real consistency

[@mikeandaszj6475]

I’m so glad my video helped you mama! 💗 Toddlers are smart and they pick things up quickly. My daughter started eating more almost immediately, now she loves food and is always excited to eat. Before she couldn’t care less! It’s hard to be sleep deprived for soooo long. Listen to your instincts, it’s better for everyone to get more sleep! And the great thing about this method is you can still enjoy those snuggles if you want 🙌🏻

[@michellehooper4481]

Very very helpful! Third child. Third none sleeper. My other two kids I day weaned first. When they hit two. Then battled the cosleep boobing all night. They didn't start sleeping til they were full time school! My third baby is 14m and I wanted to feed him til around 2 or 2.5 but I am going away for two nights in 6 months time and I feel I need it cracked before then, else he won't cope without me. Shame as well as I do enjoy the cosleeping boobing. Parenthood hey x x

[@melindamorrison1]

I've already day weaned my 18 month old baby boy but I'm attempting to night wean and we've had a couple of very sleepless emotional nights. His dad also has to get up at 5am to go to work so I don't have his help. I did cave in and nursed at 4:45 am both nights. I still feel like it's progress because it wasn't 3 to 5 nursings a night like we were doing. I also justified the one feeding because I don't want to be too full and get mastitis again. I got mastitis when I weaned from day time feedings. So I've decided that after a few nights of the one 5 am feeding I would nurse once every other night for a few more nights before I quit completely. I realize that this will be a longer process but I feel like quitting cold turkey will be more difficult for both of us.

[@MsShaileneG]

I’m on night two using this method. My 13 month old started waking up every two hours demanding to nurse. Tonight, night two, tantrums lasted 15 mins, but took about 1.5 hours of wearing him in the carrier to help him fall back asleep. Surprisingly, he took a bunch of sips of water leading me to believe that he wakes up thirsty more than hungry. I’m looking forward to finally having a stretch of uninterrupted sleep!

[@anonymoussmith173]

This was helpful thank you I tried to do this when my son was 19 months old I did not succeed but. A few months later he just stoped waking in the night to feed around 20 months we have alway co slept, still are… it took a few months for him to totally stop feeding at night… I just followed my instincts…. Do what feels best for you mamas!

[@juliagartner5121]

Thank you for this!!!! My baby will be 1 soon and I’m in the same exact boat! I will 100% try this when we are ready to night wean! 💕

[@autumnjohansen3910]

Thank you so much for this video. I am ready to night wean baby number three. The first two did it on their own, but this baby is just determined to stay attached to me at night. My husband took her on a six day trip to his parents for a funeral. We thought she would be weaned when she returned, however, she was even more attached when they got back!

[@clairenagatani]

Thank you for this! I'm pregnant with my third, and need to night wean my son who is 27 months. He is sooooo attached to the boob. Hoping so much that this method works for us too.

[@tiffanytoorie2937]

I'm night weaning my 24month old did it ever work lol if so how long did it take.

[@yaqinhamdan9775]

omg this is the most helpful weaning video I have watched. Thank you! you gave me hope in gentle weaning!!!

Just discovered this book and my daughter is 27 months and I will try this method!

[@mikeandaszj6475]

I think I covered most everything in this video but if you still have questions let me know :) I hope this video helps some tired mamas get more sleep 💗

[@alinap771]

I think we are in a very similar situation. My toddler is 19 months old and I’ve tried the Dr Jay Gordon method the last 2 nights (even though I’ve been considering it since he was 10-11 months). I felt like this is a good moment for 3 important reasons: his teeth are already erupted, he managed to go back to sleep easier without crying very very long and because I think it’s time for me too to sleep 6-7 hours straight. I hope we see some results.

[@mikeandaszj6475]

Good luck to you mama! 💗 It’s definitely not the easiest thing but it’s worth it. Everyone gets better sleep and can still enjoy cuddles if they like 🙌🏻

[@christinarobinson7854]

OMG!!!! FINALLY, a video that gets what I'm going through. So glad I found this video.

[@9Fruits1]

Thank you so much. What a helpful video! I'm interested in how you're going with day breastfeeding? Does your toddler refuse food and want to breastfeed constantly in the day at all?

[@Kirsty.Harris]

✨ Thankyou so much for this, information like this is so few and far between. We have Co-slept & bed shared with our little girl just turned 2, still breastfed through the day and the night and we’ve just started to think about weaning her and then once weaned transitioning her into her own bed in our room still and then into her own room. Could you share your experience and tips of going from Co-sleeping to transitioning to own bed? Thankyou so much for making this! x

[@christinaquintero6713]

I'm going on a 3 day and 2 night trip in a week so I'm really hoping this works for my 14 month old son😢I've already weaned his day feedings but the night breastfeeding is a nightmare so far plus we co-sleep. I'm almost in panic mode

[@NatasshjaSoncini]

Thank you so much for this, I am desperate and this method seems to be the most gentle one and aligns with our parenting. Thank you for sharing. I need to prepare myself and prepare my little one for it. I've put it in the diary!! it's happening in February!!

[@goldielikes3]

Thanks for this! Question: did you rock her, cuddle her to sleep? Or did you put her down awake?

[@Marynwaifa]

Thank you so much for this information it will really help me my baby is 12months getting ready for night weaning

[@Justahumannamedsky]

I did the same thing... 3 hrs of crying and gave in. She would fall asleep and continue to wake back up withing minutes throughout the 3hr span. I'm trying again tonight!

[@nataliebembridge2990]

How did it go. This is like mine. Sleeps then wakes up

I’m going to try this! But she be ripping my shirt up screaming and hollering like it’s the end of the world throwing herself back.

[@ericaclyde3567]

What about for naps? I nurse my son to sleep for bed and naps. Did you nurse her to sleep for naps during the day? And just tell her none at night?

[@SingingGingerNinja]

Oh my goodness 😂😢. Finally other moms who are having the same struggles with baby crying at night 😢. I did my first night with her last night out of frustration. She cried for about an hour and a half on and off. Fell asleep once in there. Then fell asleep for about 10-15 minutes. I also had been trying to get her to sleep in her bed before starting all this. With night weaning I quit with that at 1am and took her to sleep with me. Then she fell asleep and slept until 4:30 and cried for 5 minutes then fell asleep back asleep on top of me and slept until 6:30.

[@SingingGingerNinja]

Then I nursed her ❤ and she slept for just a little bit and we were up by 6:50. She was very happy. She did not drink any water at night because she was mad me 😕. Anyways aside from the horrible crying episode it was ok…

[@sashal.n9454]

I can completely relate! Omg, so this gives me hope!❤

My daughter sounds so similar to your daughter and I tried and gave up on night weaning before as well (just was not ready and started without enough research or prep time under my belt).

Hello thanks for this informative video! Just wondering what did you to stop your milk supply? I just want to avoid mastitis and blocked ducts in this weaning process 🤓

[@mikeandaszj6475]

Good question! I got mastitis a lot while breastfeeding so was worried about this too. I drank peppermint, sage and hibiscus tea and also used cabbage leaves :) it took a couple weeks for sure but no issues!

[@salehaanjum6325]

Can you do 12 to 7 or 1 to 8 instead of 11 to 6?

[@samuelr.5885]

What do you do for nap time?

[@user-ew6zb2st3m]

Do you nurse to sleep at nap time?

[@Kiwikookie123]

It’s so hard to be there while they are crying. And it’s so hard to stop and not cave in and just breastfeed! The paediatrician said to continue even if they cry or else if you stop and try again over and over it confuses them. Sighhhh

[@thestoryofus7616]

How did you get her to sleep in her bed until 11?? Mine is 13 months and I've been trying for months, but she screams

[@ACelestialSerenity]

Sooo helpful!!!!

[@ashlynncaddell23]

It's good

[@lifeinuk972]

My mother in law told me a tip. That really works. "put your hair on the boobs" and babies really think it's something very scary. They will get scared of it.

[@MommyMeghan]

I have no problems with my 13 month old sleeping by herself. I put her to bed at night and she goes to sleep all by herself. My 4 year old is a whole different story. He still sleeps with me. He slept in the same room with us when he was a baby, but when he was 6 months old we would rock him to sleep at night and then he slept in his crib in his room. Sometimes he would wake up and I would rock him back to sleep, but it wasn't until I was pregnant with my daughter that he would wake up screaming and and would take forever to get back to sleep. Once my daughter was born my son would not sleep in his own bed. Then again I stopped breastfeeding my son at 9 months and daughter at 10.

[@mikeandaszj6475]

It’s crazy how different they all are hey! I sure hope if we have another babe that he/she will like sleep more than this one 🤭

[@janer7593]

Did your daughter have any confusion over the earlier night feedings while also using that particular book? It seems great, but my little one is the same age and I’m afraid that telling her nursing is only for day time and then breastfeeding her to sleep would be counterproductive.

[@mikeandaszj6475]

She didn’t seem to! I only fed her before 11pm for a few nights and then I cut that all together because I was worried about confusing her. Using the book definitely helped her understand that when it’s dark out and everyone is asleep we don’t have milk. I do remember that if I did go in to feed her before 11pm I would tell her “this is the last milk until morning ok?” So maybe that helped!

[@mariestupple3870]

Thankyou, this was really good to watch. My daughter is 2 and also very attached to boobies..doesn't eat much and wakes up all through the night to feed and feeds in the day too. I'm stuck in the cycle of being exhausted and taking the sleep I can get but I know on the other side of this my mental health which has suffered a lot due to sleep deprivation will be better. I am a single mum with fibromyalgia and I don't know how to get through night weaning in a way that is positive for my daughter and manage through the day to meet her needs. I've not had a break of a full nights sleep in years. How do I do this on my own?

[@nataliebembridge2990]

Hope ur OK. Not easy at all. We're in the same boat

[@TheDTK2012]

My life

[@oliwiamytlewska9047]

Why did you choose not to follow the first step (first three days) of Gordon's metod meaning feeding baby milk when he wakes up after 23 but putting him still awake? You seemed to skip the first step. Why?

[@minazafar6893]

I was thinking the same thing. I followed all the steps (but for a little longer time) and it worked out just fine

[@sarahjones3338]

Heres how i did it, i said no at 9 months old. When they’re hungry enough they WILL take a bottle!

[@kathleenevans1201]

I'm so glad that I didn't breastfeed my girls. Weaning of off the bottle was very easy. Another reason that I didn't breastfeed them was I wanted my husband to take turns in feeding them at night. Breastfeeding leaves it all up to mom and I wasn't willing to do that.

[@DarthAriel22]

How did you bottle wean?

[@kathleenevans1201]

@@DarthAriel22 I hid the bottles where she would never find them. My daughter was about two at the time. I picked her up and, together, we looked in every cupboard where she knew they were kept. When we ran out of places to look she said "I guess bubbas went bye bye and that was it. You can hide the bottles but you can hide your breasts.

[@beautifullthings]

But formula is nowhere near as beneficial as breastmilk. It’s about the babies not us. Men are not supposed to breastfeed its the mother that has the breastmilk. I wouldn’t let my baby miss out on crucial breastfeeding just so my husband can take turn tbh.

[@kathleenevans1201]

@@beautifullthings Formula is just as good. Bottle fed children are much easier to wean, too. That's my opinion. It worked for us.

[@beautifullthings]

You do as you please but as a FTM/nurse these are some benefits of breastfeeding. 1) stronger bond between mum&baby 2) reduced risk of infection & chronic diseases 3) easier to digest than formula 4) studies show breastfed babies have better IQ 5) Breastfeeding reduces chance of allergies 6) breastfeeding reduces risk of postpartum depression & easier recovery 7) breastfed babies adapt to different tastes & adapt to solid food with ease 8) Breastmilk contains enzymes, good bacteria & immunity not found anywhere else
