When will she stop night feedings?

DD is 13 months. She is still breastfed on demand. This varies from day to day. She is having solids and eats all kinds of foods.

She still wakes up 3-4 times in the night and I have to nurse her back to sleep. She isn't even hungry. She will just suck for a minute and then doze off. IF I don't do this she will properly wake up and throw huge tantrums.

Was just wondering if she will grow out of this on her own or should I be doing something to stop it?

I'm not sure whether she'll grow out of it, with DD at 10months I stopped feeding her at night- I got to the point where I knew she could go all night as she had a few times, and she was eating loads so stopped doing it. Sometimes she's be cuddled back to sleep and sometimes I'd leave her to cry for a bit. So for me it was being confident that she wasn't hungry, deciding I wouldn't feed her and then deciding how to go about not feeding her! People have many different opinions on the last thing...

I did try leaving her to cry and just cuddling her but she cried for ages and in the end I nursed her just to get some peace. She eat a lot when I am not around but if I am there I struggle to get much into her she much prefers milk

sounds JUST like DS!!! sometimes he falls asleep at the smell of the breast as I start to feed him at night!

If DH goes in to DS, he screams like a banshee for ages. I call it the nightly terrors.

I am hoping that DS, and your DD grow out of it. Furthermore, I will tell DS to be gentle with his DC, because the way that he screams at night, I am sure that the neighbours are suspicious of us.
