My baby is almost 1. Should he be sleeping through the night? -Mi bebé tiene casi 1 año. ¿Debería dormir toda la noche?
Sleeping through the night is a developmental milestone many moms are ready for, and how to wean from nighttime feedings is a common question! Baby will get there when they are ready, but usually if they are over 9 months and feeding well during the day, they may do well with other comfort measures, instead of breastfeeding, overnight.
Suggestions:
Wait a few minutes to see if baby will settle on their own
Rub baby's back & sing softly while baby is still in the crib
See if changing the diaper helps with discomfort
Pro Tip: Send Dad in, instead of you going.
What other overnight comforting techniques worked for your baby?
SPL.
Dormir toda la noche es un logro de desarrollo por lo cual muchas mama están listas, ¡y cómo dejar de amamantar durante la noche es una pregunta común! El bebé lo lograra cuando esté listo, pero normalmente, si tiene más de 9 meses y se alimenta bien durante el día, puede intentar otras medidas para consolar, en lugar de amamantar durante la noche.
Sugerencias:
Espere unos minutos para ver si el bebé se calma sólito.
Masajee la espalda del bebé y cántale suavemente mientras el bebé este en la cuna.
Vea si cambiar el pañal ayuda con las molestias
Consejo profesional: envía a papá, en lugar de usted.

I ended up giving my first (daughter) a pacifier after 3 weeks and then my second (son) found his fingers super early on! Those did help at night but both babies continued to nurse overnight through infancy. My daughter nursed alot, every 2-3 hours, basically until I weaned her at 24 months. There were alot of reasons for this so don't want to scare anyone away! Lol! My son stopped night nursing around 10 months if I remember right-- but would nurse around 10-11pm and again around 6am. After he got to be 12 months old he started to wake more often due to teething. Giving him a sip of water and offering a teether during night-wakings helped and he went back to sleep quickly.
I agree with sending dad in! There were many times I couldn't get my son to sleep at all! Then dad would come in, hold him just the right way, walk around for a minute... and my son fell asleep. Lol!
