my son is 11 months old and still wakes up to feed at night...is this normal?? 

I have always nursed him to sleep, I'm going to start sleep training and they say that you shouldn't feed them at night when you are sleep training, did anyone stop brestfeeding at night when they started sleep training??

Yes - I had to wean my daughter of night time nursing when we transitioned her to her crib at 10 1/2 months. This did make my milk supply decrease (not sure if this happens every time) so be prepared for that, and know the transition is harder for mom than baby!

I don't even know what sleep training is!  I've always slept with my babies, so even if they don't sleep through the night, I do with them nursing when they want to, without waking me.  I've found they stop nursing at night eventually, even without being forced to.

I have never heard of sleep trainging either.  However, my son is now 18 months and he has always slept with me.  I just stopped him from nursing all together because I felt it was time. It was harder for me than for him.  And yes, he still woke up at night to nurse until his last night of nursing.  I find now that he will sleep through the night.  And if he does wake up he does not ask to nurse.  He only wants to cuddle and then he falls back to sleep.  He has only been weaned for 12 days.  Best wishes to you.

I to have never heard of sleep training.  My daughter has never slept in my bed, but she would wake me up when she was hungery and it eventaly went to about 7am.My daughter quit nursing at night at about 7 months, and I weaning her about 3weeks ago and I do agree that is definatly harder for mom than baby.

has anyone ever let their babies cry themselves to sleep at night??   I want him to sleep though the night..he'll be a year old next week...I'm just not sure how to handle it - I don't want him to always depend on me to get to sleep, what happens when I stop breastfeeding...??

I have not, Angela.  Even if you breastfeed him to sleep until he loses interest in doing so, he'll stop needing you to go to sleep eventually.  Try to look at it from his point of view, if you let him cry himself to sleep.  He's be alone, scared, feeling abandoned, maybe unsure if you'll EVER come back for him.  Is that really something you'd knowingly consider doing to ANYONE you love, especially a little baby?  I know I wouldn't, which is why I haven't.  Yet my 10 year old and 4 year old no longer need me to get to sleep at night.  My 2 year old didn't usually, but with the new baby we've had, she's a bit more insecure right now and needs some extra help.

I was asking every one tip for weaning. Now i realised there is time. each baby is different.

I still breastfeed my baby day and night and she sleep with us. Wakes up many times for cuddle and back to sleep. She is 19months old.

I am going to wean when she reach two. You can ask ur partner help during night. Let him sleep with the baby. U don't go near to ur baby during night for one or 2 weeks. He will forget feeding and sleep.I still tried this yet but i guess this will work.

 Hope this helps.

You could try reading Dr. Jay Gordon's technique for night-weaning, or Elizabeth Pantley's no-cry sleep solution books.  Both are authors who are pro-nursing and pro-cosleeping, but understand mom's need to sleep, too.  Best of luck!
