(And yes – I breastfed exclusively. So did all my sisters. I've never heard of a toddler eating at midnight. Even a friend with an underweight boy doesn't need to do that.)

There's sacrifice and then there's just sadism.

Well, I guess we have to give the kids better alternatives they can get hooked to if we want to stop breastfeeding. I agree it pains but we have to do it some day!

I nursed my boy to a little bit after two years old and I loved it and get all teary when I think of nursing.

Which doesn't make it any easier to deal with at night, but at least gives you a bit of context :) Night-weaning our first (at nineteen months) was immensely hard, so I sympathize.

Pantley's book was helpful in our crafting our approach, but no book or method is right for every baby anyway. For the first year, we did family bed and nursing through the night. A 15 months with the first and 12 with the second, we moved tot to her own bed and gradually did loving comfort to sleep, taking turns so that both mom and dad got at least 4 hours of sleep. Night weaning was hard, but it was done gently, with no negative results in the mornings. I wish you much success! You and Martin and Serena can get through this and move on to better sleep at night, leading to more awake, fun-filled day adventures with well rested parents and kids!
