How many breastfeeds does your 13 month old have?

[FeelingDeviant]

On weekends, DD has one first thing in morning, one before bed and one in afternoon. She'll also have 260ml milk in her cereal and as a breakfast drink

On nursery days, her afternoon breastfeed is replaced by 120ml cows milk. She used to have this milk from a cup, but now she sucks it from a straw out of a carton and has 180ml (and wants more!)

Since the increase in afternoon milk she hasn't wanted such a huge breastfeed at bedtime, sometimes only taking one breast. So I'm wondering if I should ask nursery not to give her so much milk? I hate depriving her because she's small and not even on a centile.
Am I being selfish because I just want her to have more breast milk than cow's milk?

Is this part of her weaning herself off the breast?

Starlight, was that just morning and bedtime?

My LO was only having morning and night at 13 months , weaned herself by 14 months, (i miss that closeness). Now she's on two bottles of cows milk .

DD1 fed like a newborn until the day I stopped at 14mths.

Accidental Mum - why did you stop? Or did your DD self-wean? And if self-weaned, what was the "process", as it were?

Sorry for all questions, I'm just curious to know whether my DD is self-weaning. She only wanted one breast at bedtime again.

My little man 13 months today went ALL DAY yesterday no feed and went 8 hours the night before.

However usually he feeds 3-4 times during the day and is on off from 3ish in the morning til we get up around 6.30-7.

This morning he didn't have so much either now I come to think of it. I must admit that I'm torn between wanting him to feed a little less and not wanting him to stop.

My ds fed just morning and night from 12 months to just over two, when he dropped/was discouraged from the night feed. (Exception when ill, and would then fed all the flipping time)

Nothing to do with weaning, in my experience

13 months is very young for self-weaning; I think by definition that is only past 18 months, with 2 being considered more common.

Despite not having her usual 180ml of cow's milk this weekend (just her regular afternoon breastfeed), DD still only wanted one breast at bedtime. I guess she's just needing less?

Wisknit - Sorry to hear about your DS not feeding. Sounds more like he;s on nursing strike than self-weaning. Maybe he's a bit poorly? (My 13 month old DD has been on two nursing strikes now.)
