Night feeding
My 20 month old is on breastfeeding for milk.
I want to stop breastfeeding during nights.
But , I am worried about her hunger during night. I have never introduced bottle to her.
If I stop breastfeeding during night, what alternative can I give to her during night wakings.
If they are fed proper food, then do they feel hungry in between nights, or its just out of habit?
What is the alternative to breastfeed during night?
