My little girl is now 6 months and we've been giving her solids three times a day for about a month now and she's doing well with it. So when can we stop night feeds, and how?
Right now she has 2 x 240ml bottles in the day, one more at bed time and another during the night - she usually wakes and feeds two or three times. We're not sure if she's feeding at night because she's hungry, or out of habit, or because this is the only way she knows of getting back to sleep (I'm afraid the only way she goes to sleep is on the bottle or in the buggy, with a dummy). It's all a bit of a mess really, and a tad confusing, I admit, but I'd be really grateful for your thoughts. And if we decided to do controlled crying do you think it would just kill all the birds with the one stone - ie cut night feeds and stop night waking at the same time, as well as teaching her to self settle?
Thanks!
