We had 9.15-4am last night so that's 3 six hour plus stretches in a row. Interestingly he's not had yoghurt for a few days (except for 2 spoons yesterday breakfast). I'm back on normal milk though and he's having formula or cows milk with cereal for breakfast everyday. I've just acquired a diary to start a food/nap/sleep diary and see what happens.
I also planned to stop bf and sleep train this week but not sure I really want to!!

Yay for the good nights!!!!!!!!!!!
Good article Waula, thanks.
Sorry for being a bit me me me on here, but last night......
9 HOURS!!!!!!! Then a 15 minute feed at 5 am and put him back in the cot this time instead of our bed and he slept til 8.15!! We actually went in and opened the blinds at 8, mainly as DH hadn't seen him since sunday and is away tonight. He still didn't wake til he'd left for work though!
This is now 5 good nights in a row, was thinking of sleep training tonight but I might not as we're on a roll!
Famous last words!!

Yep still boobing! So he did 7-4 again last night then I fed him
And put him down and he didn't sleep. So I let him cry and checked every 5 mins. Nappy change after 20 minutes, asleep after 45 mins but only for 20 minutes but when he woke I popped in again to say sleep and I think he went back off after 10 minutes and slept til 8.15 again.
That means I cant give into his crying tonight now I've started it!
It also means I feel like a zombie as I couldn't sleep til 1.30 thinking about today (L&L)

lozza thats an amazing step for you guys - how he do last night xx
Ah,not so well. Lasted 4.5 hours then was waking up on and off until I gar him calpol, then he probably slept 3-7, so 1-3 was a bit of a nightmare. I'm
Pretty sure a tooth is imminent, he's being pretty clingy today which is unlike him!

10 hours, we did 10 hours!!!!! 
7pm-5am, amazing. I slept 10-5 and only woke at 3 when he cried for a few minutes so that was good.
I think I'm in the middle of my last evening breast feed. Bit sad but I've said everyday this week it's the last one and at some point I have to mean it. I'll keep mornings for another week or so, maybe valentines day is a nice day to remember and finish. I'll prob end up feeding tomorrow night having said this!

xxxWell it wasn't a very "last" night. I've got him to take 5 oz of the bottle but then he kept clawing and trying to nuzzle in so I let him have a little bit. He got a bit fussy after a few minutes so I assumed he was full, burped and put him in the cot awake. Few minutes of rubbing his back and head and I think hes now asleep!
Bit sad
Waula - this isn't stopping as such... It's cutting down but yep, I give you permission to stop, not that you want to! N actually said am I sure, he thought feeding for a year was normal, I was surprised by that as I thought e assumed it was less! Ah well.
