Thankful for this group
Just had 6 mo checkup and ped encouraged night weaning to get ready for when baby gets teeth (0 now) bc you shouldn’t feed after teeth brushing at night... I know from my time here and research it has spurred on that her advice is NOT what’s best for baby now or once LO has teeth. I also knew to expect to hear this kind of thing so I felt more prepared.
The idea of night weaning a 6 month old is crazy to me and honestly it made me so sad for all the parents that get that advice and take it without knowing… Grateful this community is here and discussing how to support our babies’ growth and development in truly responsive, loving, and appropriate ways. Thanks to everyone who’s ever posted or commented to build this community, going against the sad, independence-obsessed mindset of child rearing we typically have in the US (where I’m at).
