We have been doing BLW with dd since 6mo and she has taken to food like a duck to water, having 3 good meals a day.
Since introducing solids, she has still kept all her usual day time bf which are at 8am, 11am, 3pm, 6pm give or take, and has been waking for one further feed around 11pm-12am.
This last week or two, the night feed has been moving later and later and she's been losing interest in some of the day time feeds, regularly skipping out the middle ones.
Today, other than her first feed of the day, she has had virtually no bm all day. She has completely refused all my efforts to offer feeds, wriggling, squirming and screaming her head off until I give up trying to feed her at which point she immediately stops crying. Obviously she doesn't want the milk?
She has still eaten 3 good meals of solid food and has drunk water from her cup with her meals.
Should I be concerned? In the space of a week she seems to have been dropping feeds left right and centre... She has now gone to bed without any bm since about 9 oclock this morning :(
My MIL tells me that DH as a baby stopped bf at this age which is adding to my worries; could DD be following in his footsteps? She does eat a lot of food...
