Oh my goodness I’m going through what you were living and have started looking into sleep training when I came across your blog. I am at the point, I am so ready to do this.. I did ni ni time,I laid her down and she cried for 1/2 hr. My husband went in to console her for a bit, I didn’t. That’s how ready I am. You made me laugh so hard when I was reading this! This was extremely helpful too. Thank you for writing about your experience… having a baby is intense sometimes. I take comfort in knowing that other people are out there that are or have gone through what I am going through, I’m not alone. Thank you so much!

Thank goodness I found you! Our situation is pretty much identical and I have been struggling with CIO and reducing/stopping night nursing. It’s been haunting me, really. This is my second child and I thought, “oh, I’ll be fine. I know how to handle wake-ups and sleep training.” I was wrong! Every child is so different and our responses to them are too. I felt confident sleep training my little daughter when she was 6 months old and yet, here we are, Nathan sleeping poorly and demanding to nurse at 14 months.

I’m tired and want a snippet of sanity back. I also know my little Nathan deserves the gift of sleep and I have to help him find it, and quickly. Your plan/your methods are exactly where we are at and I appreciate seeing your experience lined out. It will be a strong presence in my weak moments.

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say thanks. Reading this while lying there trying to decide if we were ready to night wean…gave me the confidence I needed. Little man was obviously ready because there was really only a couple of rough nights. Last night (about 2 weeks after starting) he went to bed at 6:30 and I had to wake him at 6:30 this morning.
Thanks again for the great post!

Alicia I’m with you my little one still sleeps with me and I am so ready to be done with the night nursing but she isn’t! So I keep saying ok at a year ok at 13 months and now it will be 14 months!! Do you intend to keep letting her sleep with you? My lo has never slept in her crib and I think the weaning will be much harder any ideas?

I too found your blog reading your experience with night weaning and then I was hooked. I read some of your other blogs and man can I relate. I love how you are so detailed and use words I can understand especially when you CAPS them…gives it that dramatic feel and pulls me in. I laugh and cry. My daughter is 14 months now and I don’t think she ready but then again I don’t think her daddy is ready either for night weaning. It’s a tough journey but now that I have to stop eating dairy, eggs AND PEANUTS because of her allergies I’m miserable and want her to wean for her safety and my peanut butter cookies hehehe. Well happy blogging because I’m happy when I read it. Thank you

mine just turned 13 months and still wakes to eat once or twice or 3 times if i cant lay her back down, she goes to bed at 7, althought the past few nights its been 630 bc shes a wreck by then. im super ready to wean and night wean and this post gives me confidence that i can do it, im gonna have to kick my fiance awake when i hear her crying so he can go in instead of me but im ok with that lol. she hasnt really ever taken to a lovey so im hoping once shes night weaned she will take to one, that alone will make my day. currently she is waking every hour to every 2 hours or sometimes 3 and yea i feel like zombie mom most days, i am so ready to sleep like a normal person again i can taste it! thank you for this for reals.

Teresa – I think with a 20 month old whose life has just been turned upside down by moving from his parents’ to his grandparents’, patience is required and it is NOT recommended to leave him crying!

From a mother (and a desperate googler) trying to get advice at 2 in the morning about my screaming, not sleeping baby.. Thank You!

Teresa sleep training would not be recommended especially in your grand holds case as separation from his parents may be causing the night waking and not responding to the walking may cause more anxiety x Hang in there, you’re doing a great job x
