Somewhere between 12 and 18 months, I actively night wean my kids and replace my boob with a sippy cup. The two big ones both started sleeping through the night around then and if they woke up, they'd reach for the cup themselves and go back to sleep. Then Charlie turned two and that all went to shit and she started waking up and begging to nurse a bazillion times but I refused and now she's back to sleeping through and waking up to nurse around 6.
This, pretty much. I put a pack&play right next to the bed and started getting him to sleep in there. What used to be an hour-long saga of sleep is a five minute, "here's your sippy cup full of chamomile tea, goodnight, Ama will sit in the chair across the room with the night-light on" deal. I sit in my rocking chair and catch up with my laptop. Easy as pie. :)
