Hello, DS is rapidly approaching 12 mo and I cannot get him to drop the 11pm feed which we have always done as a dreamfeed. He eats really well during the day (loads!) and has milk at 7am and 7pm, no other milk during the day. The 2pm feed was dropped with absolutely no fuss, just didn't offer it one day.
He has breakfast at 8am ish, lunch at 11ish tea at 3ish as he's at nursery full time.
I've tried:
- offerring water instead
- watering down the milk to try and wean him off it
- not waking him and seeing if he'll go through but he just wakes at around 1-2am for milk instead which is more knackering for everyone
- I've introduced a pre-bath snack when we get back from nursery as I hadn't changed his food routine in a while and he's obviously a lot bigger now.
None of these things are making a difference other than he is now sleeping through 11pm - he was waking up as if it was a habit - and waking when he's actually hungry at 2am ish.
Is there anything else I should try? Should I just actually not worry about it, he'll drop it when he's ready? I remember feeling the same about a couple of other feeds as he's been growing and obviously he doesn't still feed at 7am and 9am so really I think I'm being PFB but any advice would be really appreciated!
