DS is 8 months. I've been toying with giving up breastfeeding for... erm.. about 7 months now but have never really got round to it .
He has 3 or 4 feeds in the day and rarely 'demands' a feed. He is eating well and would generally take food over milk.
Nights are a different matter - he is usually up at least 2 or 3 times a night and although he is pretty easy to settle with a feed he doesn't seem particularly hungry.
He's just got his first tooth and seems to be getting another. I am wondering if I should be trying to stop the night feeds now, partly in order to prevent tooth decay and partly because I'd like some sleep (and an excuse for DH to try to settle him occasionally).
