Night Weening at 18 Months

Hi Mamas! My 18-month old currently wakes every 3-4 hours to breastfeed at night. We bedshare so I just roll over to feed him. I’d like to night ween him soon to improve my sleep and avoid tooth decay. He has slight decay already and I read that it may be caused by my milk sitting on his teeth while he sleeps. We go to the dentist on Tuesday.

Any tips on night weening and helping him fall asleep with more independence? Sometimes he will fall asleep while my husband or I bounce him on the yoga ball, but that doesn’t seem to work as well in the wee hours of the morning. 💗
