Can somebody please confirm for me that it not really terrible that I still bf my son at night (he is 10 months). I do know that it isnt but am now regreting a conversation with someone who was hinting that this is something I am doing for my own interests and not my sons.
I have had to go back to work so he gets some pumped milk during the day. Also we have taken it easy re solids as I didnt want him to wean prematurely as I have seen other babies do. Anyway I think it is fair enough he still feeds at night and felt guilty re having vague plans of night weaning him at one year when he will be getting more solids than at present. BTW this night weaning plan relied on dh's assistance which may be thin on the ground and therefore not that likely to happen. I suppose I'm just reaching that early stage of being considered extended bfing by some people and should stop expecting anyone other than people who bfed past this point to understand where I'm coming from. Ie he likes it, its a comfort to him and gets us all back to sleep quickly and is nutritionally what is best for him (trying to do 75% bm and 25% solids although probably not quite managing this (more solids). Was actually told this last bit was nonsense and "he doesnt need it!"
