Do toddlers 'reverse cycle' too?

[koalacube]

Almost 18 month old DS2 is v keen on his bf, more so than I remember my oldest being. He pounces on me when I get in from work and wants a huge feed.

I work FT, some unsociable hours and DH is at home with the DC.

DS2 will settle with cuddles and a cup of milk when I'm out but feeds like mad at night and will rarely settle without a feed at night.

He's always been a rubbish sleeper tbh and I've been co sleeping part of most nights since he was about 4 months.

Just trying to work out if he's making up for not getting more feeds when I'm out.

I'm so tired I can't really be bothered not feeding him, I'm just hoping one day he'll decide he likes sleeping and I can get a sleep too. . .

Anyone else got a toddler milk monster?

I'm feeding DS1 (19 months) and although he doesn't feed at night what he seems to do is have 2 weeks where he drops to 1-2 feeds per day, so I think my supply starts to dwindle then decides he wants a week where he feeds like a maniac whenever I'm with him (which is about 3 days per week as I work PT) but then there doesn't seem to be the same flow constantly so he gets really cross and upset :(

I'm hoping he'll self wean soon so I don't think there's really anything I can do.
