I got chatting to a lady in the doc's surgery, who was BF her baby (I'd guess he was a bit older than my 13 week DS, perhaps 5 months?) and we were discussing BF and how lucky we are to not have any major problems.
She then asked how DS sleeps at night, and I said he's pretty good now, and usually makes it from his 10:30pm feed through to 5-5:30am, and every once in a while makes it through to 7am
She looked at me in horror and exclaimed, 'but BF babies his age need to feed at least every few hours in the night. I bet you've forced him to take big feeds through the day to make him go through the night. That's really unhealthy for them you know - their stomachs can't take it.' She then added something about obesity because he won't be able to regulate his appetite due to me force feeding him (in effect). She said all of this with a helpful smile and I was too shocked to be rude to her in return before I was called in for my appointment.
However, she's now made me all worried! Someone please reassure me that it's ok! I was so pleased with our 6-7 hour sleep stretch and now she's ruined it for me.
DS has always fed for a really long time (40-70 mins from birth) and now only feeds around 6-7 times in 24 hours.
