I was the same, just went with the flow this time regarding night feeds in the *hope* that eventually he would drop night feeds when he was ready...ummm, still waiting 6 months later!! He feeds at 10pm (sometimes only makes it to 9pm lately...) 1.30am and then about 5am. After 6 months I have to admit it's killing me. I'm a bit disappointed at this point that demand feeding overnight hasn't really 'worked out' for us, I'd like to be getting more sleep by now. With DD I encouraged her to drop the middle of the night feed at about 4-5 months, I just resettled instead and that seemed to work with her. DS just screamed the house down when I attempted to resettle him last night. I'm outta ideas!

So I just wanted to say I think you should decide what works for you and got with that, rather than going along thinking eventually he will 'do it himself' because not all of them do and then you might have to come up with a plan B. I do think it might be a bit unrealistic at 6 weeks especially.

But maybe I'm just one of the unlucky ones! LOL.
