[quote=Anonymous]All kids are different, you can easily have a very different experience.

In my experience the stubbornness over 3 kids of toddlerhood starts around 18 months. Age 12-18 months is the sweet spot to wean. Even if you don't wean, you should cut way back to like 3x a day, none in the middle of the night at that age. At that age the breast should be a top up, not the main source of nutrition.

There is nothing wrong with aggressively sleep training an older baby. Mom is a human too and needs sleep too. If you need an additional incentive, my eldest, also a crappy sleeper who got a boob in his mouth all night, had cavities at his first dental appointment a few months shy of 2 years. He got very little sugar, zero juice, I am 100% sure it was due to constant BFing

Dad has to step up for night weaning. Mom needs to physically leave the house. Crying hurts mom more than dad, women are just wired differently. You can also try a different venue. The change of scenery can help break the habit [/quote]
