Probably about 4 'proper' feeds a day - then about 4 non-starters where I try and feed as seems DD wants something and turns out it wasn't milk! (does anyone else still do this at 7 months or am I just the failed opposite of the baby whisperer?)

At 23 months, around 4 or 5 times a day , but never offer without her asking for it first.

9 months
probably 3 or 4 'proper' feeds a day and 3 more like sausage - where not sure what he wants or I want to sit and read my book for a bit!
And at the moment about 3 times in the night . Hasn't always been like that, and up until a couple of weeks ago, once a night was an OK night, or he might even sleep through!

too tired to figure it out

several, non starters included!

andiemustlosehalfastonemore · 24/01/2008 17:50

5 times n the day and 2 at night between 7 and 8 in 24 hrs

DS is 10 months next week.

3 feeds a day - 2 before his naps, and one before bedtime.

also 1 feed during the night - any time from 3am-6am.

ds2 is 10 mths almost and feeds usually 5 x in 24 hrs but sometimes up to 10.

Piffle · 24/01/2008 18:21

oh ds2 is breastfed

Every 45 minutes during the night!! (last night anyway) and around every 2 hours during the day. He used to feed every 4 hours on the dot, except during the night when he would have one.

dd is 1 today! and she feeds 4 times a day, but she does sleep all night now

weeonion · 24/01/2008 19:32

dd is 9 months and has around 7/8 feeds a day. does tend to manage from 11.30pm to 6.30am now - a huge step. still not all that keen on food - playing with it is the key in the onion household!

Spink · 24/01/2008 19:48

ds is 11 months, has 3 a day - when he wakes, at 3pm and before bedtime. Used to have 4 til about a month ago, just lost interest in it.

Swaliswan · 25/01/2008 10:14

DD is 7 months, has 2-3 feeds a day (both breasts).

Swaliswan · 25/01/2008 10:14
