So my DD had her 1 year check over the phone today (despite being 10 months) but HV said I should work towards only be bf her 3-4 times per 24 hours. Erm so she probably feeds at least 4 times in the night! Ok maybe I could count it as less, as in she takes one side and goes back to sleep. So would one feed be both sides technically?
Anyway I think I might feed her 12-14 times per 24 hours at the moment. I don't have a set routine, but do feed to sleep, so 2 naps approx and bedtime makes 3 already ( sometimes I feed both sides, sometimes only one.) She actually eats loads of food, 3 proper meals a day. I could add snacks in but what? She'll drink water. She occasionally had a plain biscuit, but that's not idea. She's pretty solid, but not fat, is very tall so maybe she could eat more and bf less? Her feeds are quick and I bf my first child and can't remember what he was doing at this age. We have a large age gap.
