S/o weaning, ? for those who have

[AndyCohen]

How do you handle night wakings? Audrey usually STTN, but wakes up once in the night every now and then, usually while teething. I go in and nurse her and put her back down. The whole process takes maybe 10 min.

For those who have weaned, do you give milk in the night?

No, never, but she rarely wakes.

I try to settle her first and most of the time I can. Sometimes, a bottle is required. I think it's because she hasn't been eating well the last week (damn teeth) an she's hungry.

This is what I'm thinking, when she does wake and I nurse her she drinks a lot. Just thinking about weaning soon and thinking about MOTN is deterring me a bit.

No, but she doesn't wake often. If she does we wait and see if she settles and if not then she'll get rocked for a bit and put back down. I usually send H to deal with her in the middle of the night.

We weaned 3 weeks ago and she hasn't woken up at night since then when she used to a few times a week. I will not give milk whenever it does happen, I guess I will just rock her?

This is exactly what we do, too.  You might be surprised at how adaptable your LO is.  Have your husband soothe her the next time she wakes up in the MOTN (before you wean) to see how it goes.

I don't ever in the night now. Hubby is much better at getting her back to sleep than me in general, he has a way. I'm jealous of his sleepy baby skills.
