<human>: My wife and I have a 14 month old little guy.  He's still being breastfed, but only in the morning and evening.  My wife isn't quite ready to ween him off yet, but because he breastfeeds at night, no one has ever really put him down at night other than us.  To complicate things, he started refusing the bottle around 6 months ago, and so we just stopped giving him one.  That's how the whole morning/night schedule started (I think it coincided with him eating solid foods). 

Anyways, the whole point of this is that my wife and I are attending a wedding this weekend.  We're having my inlaws babysit (they watch him every Monday anyways). But, they'll have to put him down for bed.  So, tonight I'm doing a "dry run" without nursing.  My last dry run didn't work out so well.  We was combative and crying for pretty much 30 minutes straight, and my wife came home part way through that and "saved the day" by coming in to nurse.

What should I do tonight to help the little guy go to sleep? To complicate matters even further, he can't drink cows milk now (we're trying to figure out if dairy is a problem for him).  Should I keep him up a little later to tire him out more? Feed him a later solid meal?

Any thoughts would be great.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
