hi d.d is 8 months and on 3 solids meals a day plus finger foods. How much should i be b.f? She is b.f at 7 pm, usually wakes during the night for a feed then again between 7 - 8am. Should i be b.f during the day too? She doesn't seem bothered if she doesn't have a feed during the day, but is she getting enough? Her weight gain is steady and i do usually b.f before any naps, but how can you tell how much they are getting when b.f. Seems life with b.f and solids she is always feeding! Ta.

Just continue to breastfeed on demand and I'm sure she'll take what she needs. My ds is 7 months and I was worrying that he was only bfing 5ish times a day but since I can't tell how much he is having I think I just need to relax and trust him!
