Night feeding

Hi, first time mummy here so I am still learning as I go. Understand that different babies behaves differently. Recently went for my 1 year old check up and doctor said it is not normal that my 1 year old still requite night feeding. He suggested that I give my son late dinner so that he can sleep longer at night. However, my son eats small frequent meals. I tried to extend his night feeds by 1 hour (from 4 hour to 5 hour interval) but realises that he started crying because he is hungry and has problems going back to sleep. So can I check if any mummies who have babies above 12 months that still need 1-2 night feedings ? Say after 4-5 hours. Was taken aback by the doctor comment but I find that my baby sleeps well when I feed him at night. He will usually start to move alot and give small cries whenever he wants milk. Any advise or comments welcome! #nightfeed #firsttime_mommy

My LO is 18mo, doesnt attends school so her sleep timing is anywhere from 12-3am. I will feed her the last milk once I see she’s gonna sleep. Works well, sleeps all the way till 9/11/1pm before next milk. My LO does not take standard 3 meals and most of the times just milk diet and snacks through out. (She still doesn’t take 1 full solid a day) I will give her a few mouthful of what I eat during my meals. I tried offering solids but she is not taking it well so I just forget it, milk it shall be then.
