    Did she explain more about how night feeding was affecting weight gain? It isn't as though it can be displacing solid food calories if it is at night when she wouldn't be having other meals anyway... seems like it would be adding more intake?

    My 27 month old still has a couple night feeds oops! She's little but I'm little so never really even thought about it.

    ETA: I think it sounds like rubbish btw! Do what you feel is right

    Apparently because she is feeding during the night, it's affecting her daytime appetite. Which, now that I think about it.... is just plain silly!!! She's not guzzling litres of milk every night! Most night she wakes once, and feeds for a maximum of half an hour.

    I just didn't like being told that I am hindering my DD's growth and development!... DD is as sharp as a tack!
