I was speaking to the qualified bfc at my children's centre today about my 10 mo DD. Just an idle query really about whether her feeding was typical for her age (4 -5 feeds per day and 1 -2 at night. Didn't admit to the night feeds as bfc has already 'told me off' for them and I couldn't be bothered to defend myself). She was horrified I was feeding so much and said I should really be dropping feeds, one at a time, so as to 'prepare her for giving up'. She then said that BF after the age of one was 'unnecessary' and that it 'might be a wrench' for me to stop but 'baby doesn't need it' (she does know my DD's name!).
I don't know who she's trained by, but all the literature for the children's centre advertises her as a 'qualified bfc'. What do you think about this advice? It's made me query what I'm doing and I thought we were doing fine. I certainly wasn't planning on weaning yet.
