DD is 16mo and still showing no signs of stopping BF [sigh]. I still have a stone to lose and am about to dig out my WW stuff again. Last year I got an extra 5 points a day once she'd weaned. Now that she's on proper meals, she has a BF at bedtime, in the night Hmm and on waking. Would I just have my normal 20 points a day now, or would these few feeds add any extra points? TIA.

Any bf at all adds 5 points. They say to add 10 until weaning starts but DS is now eating 3 meals a day and I can still lose weight by adding 10. Shows how much of a boob-monster he is [also sigh!]

I did Slimming World when my ds was 2 and still bf (although generally only twice a day) and took all the extras I was offered and still lost weight.

I would say take all five points and see how it goes. At 16 months she is still probably taking a fair old volume of milk from you, especially during the night feed when they tend to guzzle like troopers. You're doing a great thing for her you know, even if it's a bit shite for you at times (eg 4am).
