How LONG did the night weaning process take for you from start to finish (meaning when your LO was no longer waking up for it)?

Question

Re-worded the question as there was some confusion with the last one. I’m wondering how long the actual night weaning process took...not how old your LO was when you night weaned.

Answer

I'm letting her do it when she wants to. Not forcing it. Shes been "night weaning" for about a year as shes been cutting down amount and length of feedings for a year, but she still nurses at night most nights

Answer

I think it took less than a week, maybe 5 days.

Answer

We introduced a night time pacifier at around 5 months (he'd never had one before). This gave my boobs a break and made us realize he wasn't always hungry but couldn't soothe himself. Slowly his night feeds decreased. He slept through for the first time at 8 months. At that point he'd probably been going a week or two without any night feeds. If the pacifier didn't work, I would offer the boob, so it wasn't intentional night weaning I guess. 
He's now 11 months and has slept through maybe 10-14 nights total since birth.

Answer

I still nurse to sleep but she’s been on/off waking and sleeping through the night since 4 months old. She’ll start waking again when she has a growth or teething and then she’ll have a good stretch sleeping though the night. She did it by herself. It only takes one of two nights of dad going in instead of me to get her back to sleeping all night. I don’t plan on stopping the bedtime nursing until around 1 year old.

Answer

I didn’t breastfeed but had to wean him off night time bottles. Only took 3-4 nights. He’d wake up and I’d just tell him no baba and he’d only cry for a minute then go back to sleep. He eventually just started rolling over and going back to sleep on his own because he knew he wasn’t going to get a bottle. It was a comfort thing and not a hunger thing

Answer

I didn’t set a timeline. I just started offering formula and we slowly worked down to only nursing at night and in the morning. Then eventually not at all.
