Just wondering how many breast feeds a day my 8 mth old should be having? At the moment she has one first thing, one mid morning, one mid afternoon and one at bedtime. I'm unsure about a few things really - firstly, she tends not to eat much solids for lunch so I wonder whether I should drop the mid morning bf or whether it's more important for her to get the milk. Secondly, apart from the first bf of the day they are all pretty brief - is this normal, or does it mean I'm giving her too many? Finally, I've recently phased out the 'dream feed' (was doing it at 10.00 pm), then brought it forward by 15 min every night until she was no longer interested) and she has started waking a lot more in the night (although I'm wondering whether this is due to separation anxiety so have posted a question under sleep as well) - should I reinstate dream feed or just wait and see if she starts sleeping better? Sorry for long multiple question!!
