Sleeping through the Night - Need Advice Please

DD just turned 1 and is BF. She is still waking once a night to nurse - around 4AM. I'm not sure if she is actually hungry or if she is waking out of habit. Do you think I should let her CIO at this time or continue to nurse her and she will break the habit on her own?

We have done CIO in the past as she was up 2-3 times a night until around 9-10 months. It worked and we were so happy with her waking just once so we never tried to do it at the 4AM feeding.

Any advice or suggestions please!

i definitely think you can do CIO at 4am. i believe that she is most likely nursing at that time for comfort. i have had to do that with DS - if he wakes up before 7am, i do not go in to get him, and often he falls back asleep.

does she have a lovey in the crib? that might help her when you do CIO.

I agree, By 1 year of age she is just nursing for comfort/habit!

Totally agree. I'd let her CIO. Does she take a lovie? Pacifier?
