What do I do next? Now down to feeds at midnight and 4am - BF 6 month old?

[Thankyouandgoodnight]

DS was feeding every 2 to 2.5 hours. Bed at 6:30 (7 at the latest) with first wake up at 9.30pm.

So, 4 nights ago I decided not to feed him at 9:30pm and managed to calm him by speaking to him down the monitor and back off to sleep he went. To cut a long story short, I then fed him at 12:45am and then (with one wake up inbetween) again at 5:15am and up for the day at 7 ish.

The next 2 nights the feeds were about 12 and 4am, though last night he woke at 11pm but I refused to feed him until his cry sounded hungry rather than wingey and that was about midnight.

So, what do I do now? All thoughts and advice welcome!

Are his late feeds good ones or are they just comfort feeds? I'll try and help if I can!

I fed my DS for 18 months. I ignored any HV advice and just went with my instincts. If he wanted a comfort feed (and so long as it didn't get out of hand) I gave him one so that it helped him off to sleep.

What are you asking? Are you trying to cut down his milk feeds?

Have you started solids yet? What solids is he eating during the day and how many breast feeds during the day?

Can I just say

My DS2 s 7 months and now he's fully weaned he doesn't have any feeds after about 11pm (which is a dreamfeed). This is only for the past week - before that he was ending up spending most of the night in bed with me grazing throughout the night . I wasn't getting much proper sleep so he's now in his own room and doing much better. You have to do what you feel happy with though, not what we're all doing or what your hv says you "should" be doing at any given age/stage
