No of milk feeds at 9m?

[Cosmosis]

At 9m, how many milk feeds was your lo on?

DS is 8.5m and bf and currently has:

6.30/7am ish when he wakes
11am
3pm
7pm
and one night feed somewhere between 1 and 3.

In addition to that he has 3 proper meals (weetabix or toast or porridge for breakfast, and then things like spag bol, casserole, curry etc for lunch and tea) and the CM gives morning and afternoon snacks as well - we tend not to give snacks on the days he's with us. I am working 4 days at the moment so all feeds are bf, but when he's at the cm he has ebm, and I give her 2 bottles of 4-5oz.

The reason I ask is that he doesn't actually ask for the mid morning one or mid afternoon ones really, I just offer them I was wondering if I should not offer.

Mine has morning, before naps (10am and 2pm approx) and bedtime. Plus often an extra couple if he asks for them. Also 3 big meals and a snack/light tea in the afternoon.

Sounds similar then Rita, thanks.

Once DS got past the newborn stage (about 6-8 weeks, I think) he didn't ever ask for milk feeds until a week and a half ago. He's 16 months. At 9 months he was on perhaps 8 feeds a day, and 2-5 a night.

I fed to sleep for naps though and always fed an hour before his 3 solid meals (he didn't have snacks till 13 months).

Just so you know, 'don't offer, don't refuse' is actually a weaning technique.

Yeah I knew that Judy, but I don?t want to wean :) Just usual mothers worries about if he?s getting enough food / too much food blah blah blah

dur, Angel, not Judy - serves me right for replying to 2 threads at once
