Can a 10-month-old baby breastfeed at night?

Night breastfeeding is medically normal and common for 10-month-old babies. At this age, many babies still wake 1-2 times during the night wanting to nurse. If your baby is on breast milk, night nursing provides both nutrition and emotional bonding.
However, 10 months is a time when you might consider reducing night feeds—especially if baby is consuming adequate solid foods during the day and waking frequently (3-4 times) at night. If your baby has teeth and nurses frequently at night, there's a tooth decay risk; rinsing the mouth with water or gentle brushing after night nursing is recommended.
Summary: You can continue night breastfeeding, but considering your baby's sleep quality and dental health, you might discuss with your pediatrician the option of gradually reducing night feeds.
