DS is 13 weeks, breastfed and still feeds almost continuously until about 9:30-10pm (getting a little earlier but not much) from about 6pm. I have tried at about 8pm to stop and wait for a little while, try to get him to sleep, or at least not feed for a while, pat him, rock him, leave him, give him a dummy (he refuses it) and he wants boob. He does appear to actually be drinking rather than just suckling, even though my boobs feel empty. However, on some days when he has missed a few feeds due to falling asleep in the car, he is fine. He did that on saturday, fell asleep in the car in way home from a friend's at 7:45pm or so, and stayed asleep til i put him to bed at 9:30pm, quick dozey feed then slept til i can't remember, but a while.
Can he actually be hungry all this time? Or is he comfort feeding? He has a great appetite in the day, and has a good few days where he just seems to want to eat. His weight gain is good so its not like he is not getting enough nutrition, and he is a happy baby. But he feeds so differently to how DD fed (almost to the minute fed 4 hourly from the beginning) so I am a bit whether i am setting up some bad routine and if so how to break it before it is a real problem, or whether i should ride it out as he is just a hungry boy who likes his milk.
