My lb is 9 months old, I have been EBF on demand, started solids at 6 months but he has only recently started to consume anything sufficient.
I am due back to work in 6 weeks, he will be just over 10 months then and I have no clue what to do about nursing him, he will not take a bottle and has never had formula.
He has started drinking water out of a sippy cup with a straw.
He nurses all night long and then sometimes doesn't want his morning feed, he is showing less and less interest in his mid morning feed, I've read that they need a certain amount of milk until they are 1, so do I just go with the flow and nurse him when he asks or should I still be offering at certain times?
I want to continue to nurse him until he is at least 1 but should I be eliminating his day feeds completely before he starts at the childminders and just nurse him morning and night?
Will my milk supply diminish? Will he be getting enough milk?
So many questions! I'm a FTM so I'm really just winging it, any advice/reassurance would be so helpful 😀
