DS is 8 months (just) and still hungry at night. He is BF and wants a feed at 4 hourly intervals. This is fine while I am on maternity leave but I dream of a good night's sleep... and am going back to work soon.
Question is - will he ever decide he isn't hungry when his tummy empties of milk - or will I have to do something (crying, water, reducing minutes feeding, spacing feeds with crying... such methods). I would prefer not to force him as I hate to see him distressed.
All the babies I know - his peers - either slept through by 6 months of their own accord or were forced to drop feeds. Others I know carried on wanting milk well until they toddled..... tired at the thought.

will he drop the night feeds or will I have to make him?
