A member asked:
How should i wean off 3month old baby night feeding of milk? he wakes up at 2am and 5.30am for milk.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Change: Cut the volume of the night feeds in half to allow baby to shift calorie intake to day focused feeds. After a transition period, substitute water for the feeds. As the baby takes more during the day, the need for calories is gone.If you are feeding at bedtime, you may have trained baby to need to eat to fall asleep, stop. Separate feeds from bedtime and the problem may end.
