How to stop the night wakings?

When I night-weaned Jamie, I gave him a bottle of milk instead so that I could feel comfortable that I *wasn't* leaving him hungry by refusing to nurse. As it turned out he was hardly taking any, which confirmed what I'd felt to be the case, but it was good to know that for certain. If it had turned out that he was taking a lot, I'd have done the old trick of diluting it down on successive nights. Which I've heard work *great* with a number of kids, but totally backfired with mine. As soon as he figured out I was diluting, he started refusing bottles of any sort, day or night! However, I had also found out that he *was* eating a lot at that late night feed. Eventually I just agreed to the late night feeding and rescheduled it to suit me better, and then a few months later he dropped it all together. Which, I guess, just goes to show that there are lots of different potential reasons for the same outward behavior, so we all have to go through this detective work to figure out what the problem is and develop a solution that works for our families.
