Yeah, see I dont know if she really is hungry when she wakes up because she isnt eating any solids. A couple of times i have tried to not offer boob but i end up patting and rocking for hours. the boob is obviously a good sleep cue so i dont know what to do instead. it seems that she just lays there waking up more and more until i offer it to her through sheer exhaustion on my part. when i feed her though i can hear her swallowing - almost gulping - so perhaps it is hunger (what do i know, i'm just her mum!)
Mind you, we're moving house within the next week so it's probably not a good time to stop offering that comfort.
Perhaps later, Vicky you wouldnt mind taking me through exactly what you did to cut out the night feed.
