17 months old asking for more milk feeds - go along with it or refuse?

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

DD is almost 17 months old and over last week started to specifically request additional breast feeds. Usually it's early morning (4 or 5am), the around 2 pm and then 6.30pm. Now she wants an extra one mid morning and is very clear about that. TBH I was hoping to be dropping the morning feed soon as soon as she starts to sleep through to 6 or 7am, when she can have her porridge. Now we're back to square one. So is it a growth spur and I should let her get on with it or am I making her addicted as my mum says and she will never drop any feeds?

She's probably having a growth spurt, she know BM is the best for growing on!

But, yeah, I can see it would feel like a PITA considering you were wanting to cut down. IME growth spurts are usually followed by a period of being less interested in the breast and it's easier to cut down then.

Your mum is wrong, obviously. Unless your breasts are full of crack of course

Thanks, I will succumb then... my poor boobs, I was hoping they would get a break.

I would go with it - as MrsLettuce says, you'll probably find she cuts down herself before long
