Just a quick question.
How often should I be BF my DD at 8 months?
Our routines are a little crazy! It was something like this
Breakfast: 7am
BF: 10am (before nap)
BF: 11. 30 am (after nap)
Lunch: 12.30pm
BF: 2.30pm (before nap)
BF: 3.30pm (after nap)
Supper: 5pm
BF: 6pm
BF: 9pm
Then many night feeds! (2-4)
This seems a lot but her weight gain has been consistent and not at all excessive for her percentile.
However, I would like to stop feeding her before her naps so that she doesn't so closely associate feeding with sleeping. These are often very short feeds so I am planning on just reducing the time, minute by minute!
But how often should she be BF? Solid meals are a bit hit and miss. Sometimes she eats, sometimes she's not so interested and I am trying to take it all at her pace. I am wondering if I reduce BF then she may be a little more motivated about eating solids.
