Have you checked to see if she's cutting new teeth? My son has been a little grumpier than normal and waking up a lot during the night. I didn't think much of it and then checked his mouth and found out he's cutting four molars. I'm sorry you're going through this. My oldest nursed every hour until he was 16 months old too and I know how grueling and frustrating that can be!

Oh ok, makes sense.

No. I stopped producing milk when I was four months pregnant with his brother and he just had to wean. He was 16 months old.

Crazy, did your first self wean as well?
Have you tried seeing if she’s just thirsty and not actually hungry?I don’t ebf so I know there are some differences. But my 15 month old for the past month or so was getting up constantly just because she was thirsty. She was in the middle of teething and getting over allergies. So one night I decided instead of getting her a cup of milk I would get her some water with maybe a little juice mixed in. She only got up twice that night. Once around midnight and once around 5am for a morning milk. I’ve been doing this with her ever since I’ll give water with a little bit of juice if she gets up in the middle of the night and then she wakes up between 5-7a for her morning milk. I’ve had 2 nights in a row now where she doesn’t even wake up for the water. Good luck mama! I know it’s tough.
When I was breastfeeding I discovered my son wasn’t hungry or anything. He just woke up to get the boob because he could. I started cutting it out and it was a hard 2 weeks, but i was very stern with not giving him the breast and he eventually realized he wasn’t getting it. It’s been about 3 months and he sleeps through the night every night. We no longer nurse.
