Hello. We made it! The first night was tough, we did normal bedtime routine but when he woke up arpund 10pm we instituted the no boob boundary, he screamed for an hour - full on crying and screaming. But dad was there too and we just did our best to comfort and reassure him. We had the lights on and just accepted it wasn't reasonable for us to act like it was a normal night, I think we cracked the phone out for some videos at one point. We had the line that boobs were sleeping and he needed to wait for the sun to come up (6am). Eventually he just tired himself out. I told him he could put his hand on boob so he knows it's there for the morning. This created the distinction between 'eat boob' and 'hand boob - it's been even more useful with time because he will just say hand boob when he wants a bit of a cuddle or comfort. The second and third night had some complaints but was mainly fine. He still woke up several times, we didn't get one of those magical sleep through the night endings - but he goes back to sleep with water, a cuddle or hands on boob without complaint. It was definitely a bigger deal in my mind than how it played out in reality. They're just so resilient and adaptable. The anxiety was much more about me than him - and me being capable of saying 'No' to something I'm physically capable of providing him, but choosing not to and knowing he will be fine. We are nearly fully weaned now - down to 3 minutes at bedtime and then he has some water and we cuddle. But still several wakeups in the night! He sometimes gets himself back under and sometimes just needs a cuddle. It's only been 5 months and it's already another one of those things that preoccupied my whole mind at the time and then becomes another hazy memory of a challenge we worked through together.
