[quote=Anonymous]Although I did this in combination with sleep training (Happy Sleeper Method with a "wave" of check-ins every five minutes), I think the night weaning method could work without sleep training in general: 1. Answer baby's calls for nursing during the night and note how long baby nurses and what times. I did this "observation" two nights. 2. Shorten baby's nursing time by 30 seconds every other night. So if baby usually nursed for five minutes in the observation period, pop baby off after 4.5 minutes for each nursing session. (Yes, actually time this using your phone. Yes, you will feel like you are making no progress and will be tired for two more weeks.) 3. Be night weaned after two weeks, if not quicker! My son stopped waking off when we got to around 2 minutes of nursing time.[/quote]
