My uterus is screaming at me to MAKE MORE BABIES!!
|
There is no way Josi could have gone all night at 6 months. She now sleeps a blissful 9 1/2+ hours. I'd be more apt to listen to a lactation consulant than a pediatrician on this. Most peds have almost zero education on infant nutrition or breastfeeding (and that's straight up info from my ped). I'd say that by one he could go all night. I sometimes get up at night for a drink myself!

Working Hard Keeping the Hussy's In Line
|
I got VERY lucky. Austin has been sleeping through the night since about 6 weeks. Granted, that's completely NOT normal either.
I would say ignore the doc. There is NO such thing as feeding them too much. My rule is, if they're under a year old and they wake up, they need the milk. Maybe you could pump throughout the day so that occasionally DH can feed him so that you can get some rest??? |

Men Just Love To Stare At My Monster Nipples!!!

I so agree! When it coms to breastfeeding, it's bettter not to think your doc knows best.
During their first year babies grow so much. Some babies still need that night time feeding. I know it's hard because YOU are the one missing out on your sleep. If you feel that he is truly waking due to hunger then feed him. |
