Recently, my pediatrician told me that my baby at this age doesn't need any night feeding and should be able to sleep through the night. The common night weaning method is cry-out, but I don't wish to wear off his sense of security. Pediatrician said "You can't always give what your baby want isn't it?".
I can't, but I can't bear his crying can last for an hour, I didnt try more than an hour before, he is very persistent and determined to have me with him. I'm happy that he attached to me, as I understand that it only last for the first few years, after that he will have his own world, he will not attach to me so much. I really appreciate the time we have and treasure it. I believe every baby is different, friend's baby experience can't be mine. Based on an article, it stated that baby sleep through the night is a milestone too. This day will come eventually. I reminded myself I shall wait for the milestone, for the day to come.
But sometimes when I get really tired, I wish to get a little more sleep. I'm dilemma. So what I did now is to let my baby to crawl to me for milk at night, instead of me feeding him. He will fall asleep by himself after the milk, as his position to milk is not comfortable to sleep. Even now he will still wake up every 2-3 hours, I'm sure that my baby sleep will improvement very soon. I told him that "baby sleep long long, mama sleep better, can take better care of baby". I'm sure that he can understand me, he will help mama to sleep better. After all, my baby sleep waking up at night that first few years is only very tiny years of his life and my life too. My sleep will improve soon, baby sleeping through the night milestone will come real soon.
