We are going along fine with the weaning, a mixture of mashed up whatever we're having and finger foods - there is less mashing involved all the time as DS is becoming quite a proficient chewer!
It's the feeding that I need a little reassurance on. I feel like my milk is really dropping off. I am still feeding on demand so it's changable from day to day how many feeds DS has, but a day would look roughly like this.
8amish - BF
9:30am - breakfast (we have only just introduced this, he has a very little cereal and fruit with milk)
12pm - BF
1pm - lunch, I offer water at this meal and then a BF at the end of the meal which he will sometimes have and sometimes not.
3-4pmish - BF
6:30 - v.small BF (sometime the 3-4 one is pushed later and we skip this one
7pm - dinner, again I offer water
8pm bedtime BF
11/12 - BF
4am-ish - BF
Writing it down that looks like tons, but I just feel that my supply is struggling. DS used to just have one breast at most feeds but now I swap him at nearly every feed and sometimes we come back again to the first.
I know that isn't a problem as such, but I am finding it harder and harder to get much when I express, 3oz is about all, and so it's hard to get a break because it would take me several days to express enough to cover an afternoon and evening.
I really don't want to introduce formula, plus that really will sabotage my supply.
Not sure what I'm expecting in reply - maybe just a little sympathy? I'm hoping that in another 2/3 months we might just be feeding morning and night with maybe one during the day - is that realistic?
