Dropping night feeds- sorry for the long post..
My little one is far too old at this point to still have me up every 4 hours just for a bottle. She’s a very fussy eater and I worry she’s just not eating enough in the day so I’ve been reluctant to stop. This past week she’s been getting better at trying foods but still won’t eat a whole meal of solids. For context she’s 13 months. Are there any suggestions on how to drop this night feed? Anyone in a similar position so I don’t feel so guilty and alone on this right now!! I’ve been weaning her since 4/5 months on to foods and she’s always been so fussy. She’ll eat anything pureed but give her the same meal solid she won’t touch it. I hate seeing everyone saying their babies are big foodies I feel like I’ve done something wrong. She’s a tall girl and definitely isn’t underweight but is now walking and I’m worried she’ll lose a lot of her chunkiness..

Is she on formula or have you switched to cow’s? How does she react to food generally? Are you SHAM with her or does she go to childcare? You won’t have done anything wrong, food is a big deal! They’ll naturally lose that chunkiness when walking anyway so don’t use that as a reference, weight only and gain over months not weeks x
Hi my little one doesn't eat much and he's 17months family keep saying I must give him solids and I do but he just won't eat as much, at night he doesn't drink much only when going to bed he'll take a bottle to go sleep, he doesn't wake for milk I give him a bottle when I hear him making noise in his sleep sometimes he doesn't take it, babies will lose weight once they start walking so don't worry
Does she have supper before bed? When we stopped bottles we did supper and milk.
I got told to offer my son water if he woke up at night and apparently that soon stops them asking 🤣
