I am one thankful mummy that he has been sleeping through the night for the past 10 days. He used to wake up once for a feed (around 5am) for the past 3 months but I have managed to wean him off that feed. I know of some breastfed babies who started sleeping through at 8 weeks old (they lasted 7-8 hours between feeds) but there are also babies who still wake up at night to drink milk when they are 2 years old. I guess every child is different even if the parents have read the same parenting books and applied the same method.

As for Joshie, there were nights when he wakes up 2-3 times, not to feed, but just for attention. He would quieten down whenever hubby or I carried him but would start wailing again when we put him down in his cot. So we decided that the best plan was to ignore him. We would hide behind the covers and cover our heads with our pillows but he would still fuss for at least an hour before going back to sleep. Our next step was to put him in his own room. I was pretty worried the first 3 nights and would check on him very often, even when he does not cry. But I learned to relax and after 3 nights, he is happily sleeping on his own.
