ahhh -weaning is so hard! Maybe start with ONE feeding at a time? I'd get rid of the 4am one. Can you give her a bottle to get back to sleep? Maybe even with just water in it??? You'll probably just have to have a couple of crappy nights with the 4am thing but if you want to cut it out you'll probably have to go cold turkey. My dd was the same way with some of her feedings/wakings and it was really difficult to break the habit - but we did it and nothing really took that long. I am TRYING to wean my 11 month old - but he refuses bottles. I found a sippy cup without a stopper in it works pretty good. he likes how easy the liquid comes out - and until he gets better at drinking it, I'm going to leave the stopper out and hope this works. Just a few weeks ago I thought for sure I was NEVER going to break his booby habits but guess what, I'm down to 3 feedings - breakfast, lunch and dinner! MOST days. He's teething/sick now and a little more clingy, but for the most part, he suddenly just got on the program. Don't give up, it WILL end eventually. :)
