#82: My Two Very Different Toddler Night Weaning Experiences
Episode 82
Monday, 2 March, 2026
Thanks to sponsor Wild Nutritionist!Use code MOTR to save 35% off Mama Baby Biome Method AND First Foods PlanIn this solo, I discuss why I chose to nightwean each of my children when I did and how I returned to my "why" when staying committed to nightweaning felt hard in the middle of the night.I explain which strategies worked vs. which didn't. Why I nightweaned my son at 21 months old vs. my daughter at 17 months old and what it meant for each of their breastfeeding relationships with me.Each of my children, as I'm sure each of yours, have such different temperaments. There is no one-size-fits-all nightweaning blueprint. A lot of it is a mix of your maternal intuition coupled with some trial and error. There are general guidelines of definitive nos and yes's with the process, but there is no bypassing the hard parts. Like with any other challenging milestone, it must be met head on. This is something I kind of learned the hard way.I explain when I believe it is developmentally inappropriate vs. appropriate to night wean and when the benefits of nightweaning outweigh the benefits of night nursing. I also talk about how and when your husband can get on board with helping.For more support with nightweaning, join dozens of other women in the private Moms Off The Record community.
