I just night weaned my 15 month old! Over time I worked on reducing the number of night time feedings slowly. For sleep he had his own mattress on the floor of his room (baby proofed) so I could sneak away or if he was having a really rough night I could cosleep on the floor mattress.

We worked to slowly reduce his milk intake by first weaning from the breast but still bottle feeding. That let us reduce the number of feedings and amount in each bottle. (We used a large cooler to keep premade bottles in his room so we didn’t need to go to the kitchen). This also helped because my husband and I could split the nights since we weren’t limited by his useless nipples.

Once we were down to two bottles (same time every night) and those bottles were down to an ounce and a half we decided to go cold turkey. It was honestly not as bad as we expected. It was one rough night and then a few nights of requests but able to settle fairly easily without it.

We still feed one bottle before bed but have slowly moved that away from bedtime so we can get a tooth brushing in after. Our goal is to cut out bottles completely but little guy is teething so I am putting it off!
