He could be hungry due to a growth spurt or developmental milestone he's about to reach. If he's hungry, feed him. My daughter only cut down to one feed a night HERSELF at 17 months, then I've stopped feeding until 6 am from about 21 months.

Not meaining to sound rude, but I dont think a 10 month old wanting to BF overnight (and only once many hours after their last feed) is an issue.

My LO is almost 9months and after doing sleep school a few weeks ago, my rule is I feed him once overnight and resettle if there is any other wake ups. Agree with others that you need to be consistent in your approach. Is it a full feed or is he using you to get back to sleep? If it's a full feed, he's probably hungry but if he is only using you as a pacifier then try resettling instead. Like others have said, I am also of the belief that babies this age might actually need that one feed. I know I get hungry and/or thirsty at night. Good luck!
