Breast feeding
My kid is 1.6 years old. I was planning to breast feed till 2 years. But from last 1 month it is getting pretty bad. She is waking up 6-7 times at night and demanding feed. Can they be hungry or is it just addiction? Is it better to stop now? If yes how?

Please give proper solid food to the child before going to bed
She will not get up frequently if her tummy is full
Try reducing breast feeding from now on
