Right, DD is 8.5 months old, still BF and eats 3 meals a day. Typically she will have only 3 BF a day and only sucks for a few minutes so I dont feel she takes much milk. She goes to bed at 7pm and sleeps until 7 or 8am but has 1-2 BF overnight.
Should I stop giving her feeds overnight? I feel 12/13 hours is a long time for her to go without a drink and dont feel she takes much during the day but older relatives are telling me to stop feeding her at night and let her cry in her cot which to me doesnt seem fair.
She has been gradually sleeping for longer and longer periods (she used to be a terrible sleeper) and we had one night where she went 12 hours without waking at all so I feel that the feeding overnight is something she will grow out of in her own time.
Do others agree or am I being to soft still letting her feed at night?
