Has anybody ever night weaned their twins. I have very different little boys and the night weaning will have to also be different.
DS2 is very attached and when I have tried to limit nursing at night he could cry and scream for hours. (him being comforted the whole time) And his brother, DS1, whines a little at first but just rolls over and goes back to sleep. The problem is that ds2 wakes ds1 up and gets him upset and crying and screaming. And then they go on for hours together.
I have been either sleeping seperately with DS1 and dh has been sleeping with DS2 or Dh sleeps with both and I sleep with DD. They sleep fine and when I am not around they go right off to sleep. DD1 does this when I am around too.
How long should I be seperate from Ds2 to night wean him? I am just sure that soon as I go back into the bed with ds2, no matter how long he has been nightweaned, he will **** be hysterical when I don't nurse him during the night.
Any suggestions? I must do this, my health is just suffering with the all night wakings, and I am just not the parent I want to be in the day because of the lack of sleep.
:
They are 21 months BTW.
TIA
