Hi all. Just wondered if anyone had a similar experience or could offer suggestions.
My 10month old sleeps through from 7.30-7.30 without night feeds.
On waking I give her a breast feed on both sides but often she only has a few minutes rather than what I would consider a full feed. Having slept through I don't understand why she isn't starving!
I then try breakfast an hour later but she really has no interest in it. She'll nibble a bit on banana or toast and have a mouthful or two of porridge or cereal but no real quantity.
She is then ready for a nap between 9.30-10. Although I try to put her down without feeding her she is usually hungry and won't go down without milk (presumably because she didn't have that full feed on waking!).
The health visitor has suggested not breast feeding her before the nap thinking that she's not eating breakfast because she knows she'll get milk and that by not breast feeding her she'll soon eat. I've tried this but the result is just that she doesn't eat breakfast and then won't sleep from hunger.
Has anyone had this? I'm starting to think I just need to follow her lead and that right now she really wants/needs milk more and will eventually come round to breakfast. Other meals are fine. Thanks in advance!!
