1- be assured that, physically, she “can” sleep through the night at her age. This isn’t a matter of inability, it’s a matter of conditioning her, so that she knows she can too. ❤️2- at this age/size, her body is able to get enough nutrition during waking hours. Make sure she’s tanking up during the day- so she doesn’t have a physical need during the night. A newborn can, physically, only consume so much at a feed- so they need to eat more frequently, around the clock, to sustain themselves. She’s beyond that. As adults, we don’t have a physical need to eat overnight to meet our nutritional goals. 3- if she’s eating enough calories during the day- then at night, these are purely comfort feeds. She hasn’t gotten the skills and confidence to settle herself. I’m just trying to offer assurance that you’re not starving your baby. 4- nursing is also connection and comfort, not just nutrition. Nursing all night isn’t “wrong”. Weather it’s a special circumstance (illness, nightmare) or it’s what works best for your family. At her age/size it’s a CHOICE…but not a wrong choice. You’re not denying her a physical need. You’re helping her learn new emotional skills
