Many toddlers are still waking for milk at night. For some families, this continues to work well. For others, it starts to feel exhausting.

The challenge with night weaning is that removing milk suddenly can sometimes lead to more wakes, big emotions in the middle of the night, and less sleep for everyone. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

There are ways to approach night weaning gradually and supportively, while still protecting sleep and minimizing big emotional reactions. That’s exactly what Night Weaning Gently walks you through, including a decision making tool if you’re not sure whether you and your toddler are ready. This isn’t all or nothing. You can choose to simply reduce the number of feeds rather than cut them all out.

If your little one is younger than 12 months, you don’t need night weaning yet. You need My Sleep Roadmap to improve overnight sleep first.
