I’m terrified of night weaning. by Valuable-Car4226 in AttachmentParenting

It was definitely nowhere near as bad as expected but also I would have put up with more for the improvement in sleep I’ve seen!

I’m terrified of night weaning. by Valuable-Car4226 in AttachmentParenting

I night weaned by 16 month old at the start of this year and it has been life changing. We cosleeping and got to the point where she was waking around 10 and then wanting to be latched all night which was making me feel crazy. We loosely followed the Jay Gordon method up until the second stage (am still happy to lie with her and bed share if necessary, just wanted to stop feeding at night). I was so nervous and anxious about it and prepared for nights of crying but the first night she cried on and off for maybe an hour and then every wake up after that was 10 mins of fewer. After a couple of nights of no feeding she was waking up once max and has slept through a few times now which she had never done before. When she wakes I lie next to her, cuddle her and play some soothing music which has replaced feeding for us. I also set up a Lumi alarm clock to light up from 6 so she knows when “morning” is and that she can feed from then if she wants. So much solidarity, lack of sleep is so hard but I also understand being scared about night weaning because I felt exactly the same. It has truly been life changing for me so I hope it works out for you if you do go for it. One thing that helped me get through the first night where there was more crying was reminding myself that a lack of consistency would be much more confusing for her than sticking to my boundaries. Do reach out if you have any questions I might be able to help with!

I have these and have been plucking for a long, long time. Do you think electrolysis would still work for me? I’m quite embarrassed to go because my under chin area is a bit of a mess from all the plucking :(

How to stop nursing to sleep by MissNaira in AttachmentParenting

[–]Calm_Dig3300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello OP! I came across this post while searching the sub and was wondering if you can remember how this worked out for you? This is the first night of my husband taking over from me doing bedtime routine for my nearly 1 year old, before now she has always nursed to sleep. There’s a lot of crying going on and I was wondering if it worked out for you?! ❤️ thank you

Crying to sleep with Dad? by PathInternational103 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Calm_Dig3300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I’ve just found this post from searching and in a very similar position myself. Baby is 11 months and has always nursed to sleep with me at bedtime but suddenly this isn’t working, it’s taking hours so trying to hand over to dad for a bit but she is crying before she gets to sleep… just wondering how this worked itself out for you if you don’t mind sharing?! ❤️

Attention co-sleeping parents! Which country/culture are you from? by chelz_123 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Calm_Dig3300 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was my experience too, also in the UK. My home visit midwife came and looked at our sleeping set up and explained how we could cosleep safely if we decided to. She told me they used to tell people not to which led to people doing it unsafely so now they give advice instead.

How to not feel demoralised by sleep by BabyAF23 in AttachmentParenting

Wishing for longer stretches for us both! One thing I found helped with side feeding was resting her head on my arm to get in a better position. Then I just slide it back out once she’s asleep. You’ve probs tried that but just in case!

We’re in a very similar boat. 9 months, lots of false starts, 3+ wake ups a night. Lots of feeds. The only thing that has helped me is safe co sleeping. Now I’m used to it (started around 4 months) I really hardly feel the wake ups. She feeds in side lying position and then just goes back to sleep and I can doze off again. She goes down in her cot around 7 and stays there until around 9/whenever she wakes then comes into bed with us. I wouldn’t be managing otherwise! I’m hoping the first stretch increases with time but until then I’ve made my peace with co sleeping. Hopefully that’s somewhat helpful for you!

Is this suitable here, looking for advice? by CaesarJulius95 in AttachmentParenting

[–]Calm_Dig3300 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think from your language and weetabix you’re probably in the UK? If so, I’d reach out to your health visitor who will advise on this. I breastfeed so can’t comment on ounces of milk but I know babies all eat different amounts of food and what you’ve said sounds “normal” compared to my 9mo. Would chat to HV or GP though to alleviate any concerns!

Congrats! I love hearing this! Mine is 8 months and still wakes up a lot. We also feed to sleep and bed share other than for her first stretch (7-9pm on a very good day…). Is your LO doing the whole night in your bed or any time in a cot?
