Here are some suggestions which may be helpful. Can the mother and father agree that HE gets up with the toddler at night so the mom can get some rest? Nighttime weaning works well in that mom is much better at coping with daytime demands on time and energy. We tried this with my first son who woke up at night to nurse. It was just too easy for me to roll over and nurse him! My husband committed to getting up and taking our son into another room while he rocked, hugged, cuddled and sang to our son. After a week of this, my son was not asking to nurse at night. This solution requires come compromise and good communication between the two parents. I would "spoil" my husband with wonderful breakfasts and dinners while he took over "night duty" for a while. It really worked. There are also some terrific suggestions in "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler" by Norma Jane Bumgarner and a brand-new book called, "How Weaning Happens" by Diane Bengson. Good luck! Warmly, Heidi S.
