When she's looked after over night she doesn't have a drink of milk or anything, she just completely skips that stage. She's 22 months, but has been like that for awhile. Since the end of last year if we are late leaving my parents and Dad is off work the next day or Mum can drop her back before work, she stays there.

I'm feeling a little full and leaky at the moment as in the last two weeks she has had three over night stays and one morning where I was too tired to deal with her and TD took her straight out.

I was asked by dp's dad the other day, I had no answer, he asked how long was going to feed for, I said 'As long as we both want to' I had no other answer!

I did feel a bit when saying it but after DP's nan said 'they do it for years now, you know, it's good for the babies' and DP's dad answered 'What about at 62?' I felt much better!(and slightly sick grin])

Tommy -- once DS got to 13-14 months I could go away for 4-5 days and he'd be fine without me and pick up bf again when I got back. We were down to 2-3 feeds a day at that point, though.

Since Dd is sleeping more often through the night(whispering, so as not to tempt the little monkey backwards)I noticed that over the past 3 nights or so, I'm not waking with full breasts and although she takes a feed, she seems to be looking for more. The day time feeds seem ok, just the first one in the morning, which seems odd to me! I'm so going to miss it when it stops

"I'm not waking with full breasts"

It's just your body becoming more efficient, it doesn't mean anything for your supply.
