Is It Normal for a 14-Month-Old to Keep Breastfeeding and Eat Multiple Times at Night?

Question

Is it normal for my 14-month-old child to get up several times at night to breastfeed?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, it is normal for your child to get up several times at night to breastfeed. However, since your child is already 14 months old, it’s time to start gradually introducing solid foods and reducing the number of night feedings. It is recommended that you begin introducing solid foods to your child and gradually decrease the frequency of night feedings to help your child transition smoothly to weaning.
