I hope you had been in a similar situation to give me advice on this one. My friend is feeding her 6month old every hour, day and night, whenever the baby cries. She claims her lo cries for it, needs it. But its obvious that she accommodated to her baby's behaviour and isn't putting the baby on any schedule. I tried to talk to her but she doesn't want to listen. Do you have any advice on how I convince her that she's making her child behave as such and that she should try a different approach?

For a 6 mth old to cry hourly for milk might be more for comfort than nursing. Although it is not wrong to feed a child who is crying, it is also a concern to y a 6 mth old is always hungry hrly. For me, I don't attend to my crying child immediately but I m monitoring her needs. I will go over 5 mins later n give a pat or hug for comfort first. Offering breasts upon crying might become a habit more than hunger n this might tire the mother out. Besides, 6 mth old shld have a more structured routine. However, having said so, if your friend is comfortable n happy to nurse hrly than I suggest leave to her discretion.
