Night nursing for a 15-month-old?

Night nursing in a 15-month-old depends on both your baby's habits and your preference. At this age, most babies no longer need nutrition at night because they consume enough calories during the day. However, they may still want to nurse at night due to habit, comfort, or teething.
If you want to manage this situation, enriching daytime meals with protein and healthy fats (cheese, avocado, yogurt), providing a filling dinner before sleep, and trying non-nursing soothing methods (stroking, water, shushing) when they wake at night can help. If night nursing doesn't affect your rest and isn't a problem for either of you, there's no health reason to stop.
To protect teeth from decay with night nursing, clean teeth after nursing if possible, or have your baby drink a small amount of water. If night waking suddenly increases and is accompanied by fever or restlessness, a pediatric evaluation is recommended.
