When should you stop feeding your baby at night?
Physiologically, a child having reached the weight of 6kg is able to hold a full night without eating.
But how to wean your child from bottles or night feeds?
Before answering, I would like to come back to a myth that has a hard life: a breastfed child cannot make his nights.Well, it's wrong!Biberon or breastfeeding is the same, the important thing not being the means here to feed but how and where it is done.
If your child fell asleep within or at the bottle and you then put him in his bed, between two sleep cycles, he will claim the latter to help him link these two cycles and go back to sleep.
Here it is not a physiological but rather emotional need, the child sucks the breast for a few seconds and goes back to life or other scenario that may make one think that our child may have devouring his bottle.
I often parallel with aspirin if you have a skull evil, at the beginning 500 mg you relieve you but after a week it does not effect and you spend 1000mg to relieve yourself, it's the same here.
