Night Feeding

Hi everyone, My LO is 13 months old and having good solids during day. She breastfed once or twice a day but at night she is constantly on breast again and again just for comfort. Not drinking milk that much It gets really tiring and frustrating Ant tips?

Hey, my little girl has been doing this for a while and I really think it’s just a comfort thing for her and probably the same for your little one! I get my husband to go in during the night to rock her so I don’t have to feed her every hour. Maybe try doing that if it’s possible?

It is very frustrating as we’ve trying weaning her off the breast but it hasn’t really worked. Have you tried cows milk at night?

My little girl can have a full bottle of cows milk and then still asks for boob after during the night 🙄

My boy woke up at least 5 times last night and will not settle without being breastfed. We have tried. He is teething, so I think it's that...

@Aliyah she drinks cow milk but still search for boob at night

@Louise same here

My HV suggested offering water instead of boob but I'm yet to try it 😅

@Laura ahh okay will try

I was suggested to try water as well but our lo just screams till we give him the boob and he has a good amount too but won't eat/drink anymore before sleeping. I'm putting it down to teething or a growth spurt 🤞

Thanks for sharing everyone
