Hi
My baby is 13 months old and still breastfed. He is still fed to sleep both for his naps (2 a day) and at night. That wouldn't be SO bad (even if not ideal - especially the daytime naps) but he also wakes up at night and goes back to sleep drinking milk. I am kicking myself for not having tried harder to do something about the night feeding sooner but at the time I was REALLY tired etc... Now he has become even more self-willed obviously and has taken to wanting to suck for long periods at night as his sleep gets lighter and it gets closer to morning. My ultimate goal, starting with getting rid of the night feeding is to get him down to two long breastfeeds a day - one first thing in the morning and one before bed at night. Does anybody have any advice on how to do this - I can't see the wood for the trees!!!
Thank you.
