Patient's question:
Your son is 10 and a half months old and has always had the habit of eating night feedings. He usually wakes up every 2 to 3 hours for a meal. Can you still breastfeed during the day if you stop night feedings?Doctor's answer:
After weaning from night feeds, you can continue breastfeeding during the day. You can gradually reduce it. If you stop night feeds but the baby still wants to nurse, you'll need to get up and prepare formula milk. There's no need to stop night feeds. The main thing is to arrange the baby's sleep well. From 8:30 PM to 7:00 AM is the stage when the baby grows the most, so it's best for them to sleep during this time. Also, during the day, there should be two naps. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
