I'm going back to work as a nanny and dd is 7.5 months. I have organised multiple children and ages easily before but now it is different because one is my own and I need to prioritise my charges, as that's why I'm there.

I am breastfeeding and dd feeds 2-3 times during the working day. She can be flexible as we have no real routine and eats one good solid meal and two less good ones a day but lots of finger food in between (blw) but not much water.
But she gets ridiculously distracted when feeding, even if hungry and gets cross (bites and strikes) if interrupted, especially if it would happen multiple times in one feed. She is a quick feeder but I need to be available to 2 year old the whole time (non-napping) so although I can feed in sling if pushing buggy or at park sleepy feeds before sleep would be impossible (not usually needed luckily).

I was wondering how easy it would be to go the whole day without feeding. I've had low supply issues in the past as dd not a great sucker (tongue tie) but this has improved recently. She feeds evening, currently 2-3 times in night (co sleep) and morning. Is it common to be able to go 7-6.30 say without feeding at this age? Will your body just get used to it?
