night weaning
No more 3am bottles
Night weaning is the process of gradually eliminating nighttime feedings for an infant or toddler, teaching the child to sleep through without nursing or a bottle.
Parents typically night wean when they feel the child no longer needs overnight calories for nutrition: We started night weaning at ten months.
The process often involves reducing feeding duration or frequency over several nights.
