13 month old asking for boob 20 minutes after feed

I would go with the flow as it is so very hot at the moment.

I would say she is thirsty! It’s very hot this week.

Another vote for just letting her have it. It’s very, very hot this week and she probably needs it. Make sure you drink plenty too

Agree with pp, it's so hot. She's probably just taking what she usually does and then realising she's still thirsty.

I guess waiting a bit means she's back to the more watery milk as well, which is more hydrating than calorific.

I agree, she is probably thirsty. Make sure she has plenty of water too (or maybe some diluted juice, if she won't drink much water).

She's probably thirsty? I have a 2.5 yr old who was down to feeding two or three times a week but has increased it back to every day with the hot weather!

I just fed when they asked, it could be very frequently or a couple of times a day. It is probably the heat but they can also ask to feed frequently if getting unwell (their bodies will instinctively tell them to get lots of milk for antibodies) or going through a developmental leap and need the comfort.

The great thing about feeding as they get older is you can use it to stop tantrums, if they fall and hurt themselves, if they go somewhere new and are unsure, when they get sick and can’t eat, etc.

There is a great fb group ‘breastfeeding older babies and beyond’ for babies past a year, it can be helpful to see what others with older babies do and what’s ‘normal’ for that age.
