How do I wean I want my sleep back

I feel like when my toddler is poorly he’s more clingy wakes more in the night and uses me as a pacifier. He’s suckling… I’m definitely empty I’ve got a dry mouth myself. I take him off but he cries and scales on top of me or searches frantically to latch back on. I love him but I feel over touched and would like to sleep for more than two hours solid. Any advice please to get him off the boob and on his own room.

Have you tried pumping and bottle feeding instead? Or formula? For some babies, they don’t get enough from breastmilk and need a formula top up to get them through

He’s two in April and has never had formulas he stopped taking a bottle at 8 months 😒

Have you tried getting him used to a dummy/pacifier ? That's the only way we got my boy to wean at night. He hated it at first and wouldnt want it but we kept offering it to him in the day first for his naps and also let him play with it and he slowly got used to it x

@Naila we didn’t want him to have one and we tried for month and he’s not interested. He’s very stubborn knows what he wants and it isn’t a fake teat be it bottle or pacifier 😫

My son turned 2 in December and still breastfeeding. He uses me as pacifier too in nights specially when he is teething or have cold , nose congestion. He never took bottles of pacifier. We tried but failed every time . If I feel over touched , I eat milk cookies or oats in dinner . He drinks one time and his tummy is full . He leaves me alone for atleast 3-4 hours .

@Priyanka last night he slept from 19.40-23.30 which can be normal and then from 3/4 am the cluster latching and feeding starts. 😳😫
