How many bfeeds does your 8mth old have per day?

[thegingerone]

dd had weight issues from birth so despite the fact I'd love to demand feed properly, we tend to feed to a bit of a schedule. she's also on solids, having a whole mashed banana (with porridge/yoghurt/etc) each morning, finger foods for lunch and a huge amount of dinner plus pudding. We feed five times a day. She starts nursery in september and I'm thinking ahead about milk feeds then. she refused a cup of ff milk for dh recently. (we spent 6mth expressing "top ups" so will prob start doing pumping again.) I'm tempted to let her go with the flow but as part of her issue was that she can go for hours and hours without asking for a feed despite her healthy appetite once offered.

Just wondering what are your 8/9mth olds doing feed wise?

DD is 8.5mo and has 4 feeds a day. I'm hoping to reduce to 3 soon.

Occasionally she will want more and obviously I give it to her but generally she feeds at 7am, 9am, 1pm and 6.30pm.

DD is 8months. Has three massive solid meals a day (mix of finger food and mush), 4 daily breast feeds, a formula dream feed and at least one night feed. Exhausted is not the word...where the hell is she putting it all?!

Thanks for replies. (I posted then disappeared.How rude of me!) I'm trying to figure out which of her feeds are for food and which are for cuddles also. Part of me thinks I could send her to nursery with one feeds worth and some yoghurt (as well as proper meals of course!) and she'd be fine. I can express but my boobs have always been better at the direct route, so I can only manage an extra feed over a day.
