Hi, I am a first time mum of a six month old and pretty clueless. I have done fine to now with milk feeds etc but now that weaning has began I am lost again and not feeling very confident at all. I worry that I am not giving my little one enough milk, as she dropped a day feed (from 4 down to 3) plus she often no longer wakes for a night feed (probably half the time), so often has just 3 bottles in a 24 hours period - 8ox bottles, which she drinks all of so drinking a minimum of 24oz per 24 hours period. I have started weaning on top of this, but it's in the early stages so not really sure how much energy/nutrition etc she gets from this (most of it ends up on her clothes/face rather than in her belly!)
Sorry to be a bore, but I would appreciate peoples opinions on the below example of what I am doing currently and if it sounds normal/okay ...
8.30am - wakes
9am - 8oz bottle and a bit of porridge
1pm - 8oz bottle and two cubes of whatever food I have made (veg etc)
5.30pm 8oz bottle
7pm goes to sleep
... until recently she was waking for a night feed too, but she seems to have dropped this, hence my worry she is getting enough in the day?
Is this enough? Should I try and fit more milk in? More food??
Thank you in advance, from a slightly neurotic and clueless mummy x
