The One-Year-Old Still Waking for Comfort Feeds

Shared by a parent of a 1-year-old

Sleep has not been good. She wakes multiple times a night, sometimes five or six times. I'm still breastfeeding, and I feel like at night she looks for comfort. She has a little snack and goes right back to sleep.

What happened next

The parent started thinking about weaning and moving both children into their own beds, but the idea felt big. She had tried before and felt unsuccessful, so starting again brought up fear of failing.
