I'm trying to work out if I could buy some dresses. Grin

She's nowhere near the boobaholic DS was, but obv needs plenty still, but what's the average?

i have no idea sorry!All mine still fed loads at that age,and i never really counted,i just let them when they needed to.Could you buy dresses that are bf friendly?Wrap style ones or ones with buttons?

when mine was nine months, he fed on waking, mid morning, mid afternoon, after dinner, bedtime and probably 1-3 feeds during the night as well.

so roughly every three hours.

not sure if this is the norm, but i fed on demand, and that's when he asked for it!

by 10/11 months, he'd dropped the night feeds mostly and began to sleep ion five hour chunks, so it was more like 7pm feed, midnight feed, 5/6 am wake up feed.

oh and on the dresses - i wore lots of tunics with a v-neck and a vest underneath, and v-neck or wrap dresses.

Even now, when my boobmonster is 17 months, I still try and buy clothes that are comfortable to bf in. it's become easier and don't feel i'm compromising on what to wear!

Wrap dresses might be ok actually. Keep a muslin handy to shield passersby somewhat.

I've always liked tunics, but not with leggings, feel too exposed. I want to wear leggings and dresses.

Need to look out for wrap dresses. I'll start a S&B post later!

tunics with a short skirt and leggings sometimes work nicely, but I like layers!

S&B helped me find a bf dress for a wedding once... they are legendary!

www.milkchic.co.uk is the website to look for cool BF clothes from the high street.
