Hi me again.
ds is 7 and a half months and breastfed 4 hourly during the day so at 0600, 1000, 1400 and before bed. He wakes twice at night or once on a good day but has gone through the night before.
He is on 3 solid meals a day plus 2 yogurts.
He has been drinking more at night than in the day recently and I have had enough of doing night feeds now and will be going back to work soon and doing shift work so need to stop night feeds.
Tonight I am going to do controlled crying (I will be checking him at regular intervals) I will offer him water if I think he is thursty. Does anyone think I am doing the right thing? I feel so bad but dont know what else to do as I need my nights back now. He is a good weight - 21lb.
I did cc with the dummy and it worked. I just want him to feed in the day and not at night.
Any advice or sucess stories appreciated. x
