DS is 8.5 months and appears to want to reduce his feeds
He feeds on waking, usually feeds to sleep for a nap around 10am, BF offered about 3pm then feeds to sleep at 7. He usually has 1 or 2 feeds in the night.
However, he is going off his 3pm feed and today didn't feed to sleep (slept in the buggy) and then didn't want a feed when he woke. He has had about 4 mins since 6am!
He has 3 meals a day, porridge and fruit for breakfast, sandwiches, veggies, yogurt fruit etc for lunch and and Ella's pouch with veggies and fruit for dinner. He LOVES his food.
Should I be worrying or is it natural for him to start dropping more feeds? If heirs refusing feeds (particularly the afternoon) should I off formula or EBF in a cup or just replace with a snack?
So sorry for all the questions but DS used to be my little milk monster and he has me confused!
