My ds has beed fully BF until now, and has never been a good sleeper. Recently he has been so hard to settle in the evenings, even after very long bf, following a big dinner of veg/meat/pasta and a pot of yoghurt.
I have started giving him a cup of formula after his bf, and he is sleeping and settling far better. Which is all good, but, after about 10 days of doing this he now looks for his cup, and doesn't seem to want to bf for very long.
He is still happy to bf in the mornings when he wakes, and a bit during the day.
I'd rather keep feeding (although would not be devestated is he stopped as he has always been a fussy feeder...sleep is more important to me now), but wonder if this will lead to weaning off the breast? Anyone have any thoughts/advice/experience?
And can anyone guess why he would suddenly be so hungry and why I don't have enough milk for him (after having a MASSIVE over supply for the first 6 months!)?
