Which should I end first?!! (FTM)

Question

First off I wanted to thank the ladies who commented some great advice on how I can cut off breastfeeding! I am currently co-sleeping and breastfeeding my 14 month old (both of which I am trying to stop) I figured I would stop the breastfeeding so he can learn to comfort himself since he still wakes up multiple times to comfort eat before ending co-sleeping. While I was reading I saw some people saying I should start sleep training him before anything else. I would love to know more of your options!

Answer

I stopped daytime nursing first, then will be cutting out cosleeping, and nursing at night will be last. This way my supply has more time to adjust, and it's a little more gradual for baby

Answer

I think if you stop co-sleeping, baby may start sleeping through the night. He doesn’t need to wake up to eat during the night. When we started sleep training my son, he was 12 months. We had been cosleeping since birth and at that point he was waking up at least 4 times a night. Once we got him asleep in his crib the first night, he slept for 10+ hours straight. He would only wake up once or maybe twice because he lost his pacifier. But once we gave it back to him he was out instantly. He is 14 months old now and has learned to self soothe if he wakes up in the middle of the night. He will whine for a second then it’s back to sleep. He hasn’t been fed overnight since his last night in our bed. I feel like it will be harder to break him from breastfeeding if you’re right next to him at night. He rolls over and the boob is like right there. Out of sight, out of mind. My son could care less about my boobs 90% of the time now. But if he happens to see my changing or I am wearing a low cut top and he happens to rest his hand there, he wants them NOW!
