Ds is EBF and refuses a bottle or cup. He goes to bed a 630-7ish but wake one or twice at night has a feed then usually goes straight back to sleep.

But im starting to think it isnt anygood to keep this up as i dont think he needs it but will carry on as long as he can!

Last night he was up loads and im very tired. In the next couple of months i would like to stop BF not sure how as he refuses anything else figure i might be best to crack the nights first??

I was going to post similar. However, 'fortunately' (?) for us ds has stopped bf'ding and will take cup and bottle.

In the last few weeks we;ve stopped the dreamfeed and middle of night feed. But i can't for the life of me get him to stop waking between 4-5am for a bottle. He goes back to sleep for a while, but i can't! So today is another day when i've been awake since 4.30 Sad

If DS has had a good amount of food and milk in the day then they really shouldn;t need feedgin in the 'middle' of the night. What would happen if you offered water?

DS has a teddy we gave to when he woke - it did involve some crying and moaning, and dh wnet in to settle him, but we saw a massive improvement. He was waking for the comfort not just the milk.
