Hi! DS is 7.5 months old and has eczema. He's a great nurser and eater, so he's a chubby baby of 25 lbs.
He still gets a dream feed and a night feed. I feel like he doesn't need it, but he ALWAYS wakes up for both. I'm thinking of cutting one or both out. Just wondering if I were to wean just one, which one should I wean first? Or, is it time to wean both? If so, still which should I wean first? I mainly feel that his eczema causes a lot of itchiness/discomfort, so I think he's waking to comfort nurse.
He falls asleep on his own, except df where he nurses to sleep.
Here's his general routine:
8:15am wake up
E (nurse) 8:30am
A play & solids
S 11:30am-12:45/1pm
E (nurse) 1pm
A play & solids
S 4-5:15pm
E 5:15pm (nurse)
A play & solids & bed time routine
E 7:30pm
S 8pm
DF I aim to do it around 10:45pm, but he will usually wake up once before then and we try to get him to go back to sleep. Occasionally, I have to just df him early. He will usually go right back to sleep after nursing.
He then wakes up again around 4am and I'll nurse for about 20min. He's usually awake for about an hour during this stretch before he falls asleep again.
