Ready to drop night feeds, gently?
Night weaning does not mean the end of breastfeeding, and it doesn't mean leaving your little one to cry. This guide walks you through reducing and stopping night feeds in a way that's calm, gradual and responsive. It's written for breastfeeding parents of little ones over 12 months.
I generally don't recommend night weaning before 12 months, because it's biologically normal for breastfeeding infants to feed at night up to 12 to 18 months. But after 12 months, night weaning can genuinely reduce night wakes, as long as it's your decision, made because night feeding is no longer working for you, not because someone told you it's the only way to get sleep.
