is this good advice?

bec, I just realised you're in SA. By the sounds of it we have some hot weather coming up, so it probably wouldn't be the best time to drop feeds, especially if you're already worried about dehydration.

It's so hard though. We want to do the best for our little ones and are always questioning ourselves (well I am anyway). Then we talk to other mums and start questioning all over again. But isn't it great that we can come to BB and find reassurance that following our instincts is not a bad thing?

I'm totally fine with it, we bedshare so it's not as if I have to get out of bed to feed or anything, he just wakes, wriggles a bit, finds my boob and has a feed and then we both fall back to sleep.

There's your answer

I agree, that's a long time without a feed. My DD couldn't go that long until 18 months old.

Thanks TC - I am always questioning what I am doing. Everything I do seems to surprise people, from cloth nappies (comments like you actually WASH nappies??) to co-sleeping (what, aren't you worried about sharing a bed??) to how often Isaac feeds.. every 3 hours doesn't seem like too often to me but peoples comments make me feel like he hasn't reached that magical 'sleeping through' stage that everyone seems to think I should be aiming for. I'm not usually one who cares about what people think of me, but having a baby has changed that a bit, especially when I'm questioning if I'm doing the right things or not.

Heaven - thanks, I answered it myself! I thought about it later, and realised I shouldn't really be listening to advice from someone who started their baby on solids at 3 months anyway.
