DD 18 months has, with a little encouragement, cut down her breastfeeds massively to a feed first thing in the morning, feed to sleep for a nap and feed before bed. Occasionally a feed in the night still, but she's sleeping longer and longer chunks without.
Her morning feed is getting shorter and shorter then she has her beaker of cows milk so I can see that one going eventually. Her nap time feed is more laziness on my part as it's the fastest way to get her to sleep (DH can rock her off if I'm not there). Night feeds, well, they are what they are! Am sure they'll eventually go altogether.
My question is around her last feed before bed. She feeds to sleep- I'm fine with this, she's fine with this and it hasn't stopped her sleeping through. For those of you who's babies self-weaned, was this the last feed to go? How did they drop it? Did you replace it with anything else? I'm not in a massive rush to be it as I don't want to 'train' her into anything and would rather let her get there in her own time but am just wondering if I'll still be feeding her before bed when she's five?!
