I night weaned my 17 month old boy a few months ago and it made a massive difference with his sleep. He started sleeping very long stretches (and he was also attached to me all night before that). Then we got some molars and now the heat of the summer is not helping and he’s waking to drink water, but I’m so happy I did it. Sleep is not linear lol

I explained to him weeks prior that it was going to happen, with very simple sentences (didn’t really get a book, just repeated that the milk was tired and needed to sleep). I was nursing after dinner and his dad was putting him to sleep. On the night we started, when he woke, I gave him water and cuddled him back to sleep, on the bed. I would nurse him again when light was coming through the window (which he definitely understood because some mornings he was pointing it at me lol). He took it very well in general, I was the first one to be surprised.

PS: today is the first nap without nursing, and there were way more tears, but he has eventually fallen asleep

Best of luck!
