i know shes had enough when shes fed off both sides and starts to fidgit or pull off i give her the dummy for a few moments then offer the same breast again and again and again for about another 5mins alternating between the breast and dummy i then offer her the first breast again as since she was last on that side she would of had let down again and there is milk ready for her.i always feed her the bedtime feed with the lights down in her own room and let her get a bit drowsy and tired then gently put her without any sudden movements walk out the room .once shes had a little chat or a moan to her teddies she gets herself comfy and falls asleep. sometime she will have a cry but doesnt wake in the night now. im sure youll be fine and once your lo sleeps though once you will know then that its possible and that the night feeds arnt needed. let us know how you get on. your doing a great job.... well done for breastfeeding so long, keep up the good work x
