DD 12 mths has started crying in the night for bf ? Do i ?

[Lilyloo]

She has been part bottle and bf for last month.
She will take bottle but as last resort.
She has now taken to pulling my top etc in the day.
But the last two nights she has cried for 2+ hours until i give in and bf.
I feel like this is taking us backwards.
She has had a cough and cold lately plus her boosters. Could this cause it?

Although she has never been a great sleeper.

If she's sick, she needs comfort. Just go with it. Think how you'd feel if you had something you knew would make you feel better and for some reason the person you loved made you stop having it when you were feeling shitty.

Honestly it will pass in a few days. You are not going backwards.

BTW not berating you - it's bloody hard work. I'm tandem feeding a six month old and a 2.3 year old (who is currently self-weaning). When DD (the eldest) is sick, she still cries and wants milk. It's just their way. Look at it this way you are the most important person in her life and as she sees it - you are a superhero who can solve everything!

I'd just feed her in the night. Bfing is comfort and milk, so when she's not feeling very well you can't blame her for wanting it in the night.

She'll sort herself out in time

Thanks WMMC it's just hard esp when you feel like your exacerbating the 'problem' iyswim!
Dp ended up downstairs Wed night!
I have never fed any of mine for this long so this is all new territory for me!

Lilyloo - you're doing great and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Have confidence in what you are doing - breastfeeding is not a problem, it's a great way of giving your child nutrition and affection at the same time. I know it's hard work and it can seem like you are constantly giving and there's nothing left of you afterwards but when she finally quits, you'll yearn for times like these
