DD is 13.5 months and eats well 3 meals day plus snacks.
We are down to 2 breastfeeds a day most days, one first thing in the morning and the other directly before bed in the evening. Occasionally, if we're at home, she'll have a feed before her afternoon nap.
In the past week she has started asking for a feed not long after having had one (10-30 minutes after finishing a feed).
I was worried my milk might be drying up but I expressed yesterday and got 50ml which is normal for a pumping session for me.
This new two feeds in a row habit is frustrating because it's now meddling with bedtime. I don't mind so much in the mornings.
Do I just need to be tough and refuse the second feed so that DD makes the effort to take enough on the first feed?
It's important to me to continue breastfeeding as DD has a dairy allergy so I can't give her cows milk in a bottle and the dairy free formulas have soya which I'm not comfortable with her having (I have a low level soya intolerance which went undiagnosed and led to various health problems).
