Re: helping them learn to go to sleep
I find it's easier to nightwean than to get them to settle to sleep by themselves. My youngest has been nightweaned for months (I nurse him to sleep the first time he falls asleep at night and nurse him when it's light outside, but not in between). In the middle of that he will come into our bed (but the other night he actually slept all the way through). Anyway I find that night weaning makes them not bother to come into our bed (after awhile- it takes months after nightweaning) because they know they're not getting milk anyway. Not that I'm saying to nightwean now, but just that I find the other order has worked better for my kids.
