DD is 8 months next week and we have been BLW since she was 6 months.
Recently she has started to show very little interest in milk during the day. Today, for example, she fed on and off from about 5/6am and then woke for the day at 6.50am when DH took her down for breakfast. She then had a little feed at around 12.30pm - after lunch. I offered before lunch but she wasn't interested. She has then had a little snack in the afternoon (rice cake) and then not wanted milk until 5pm.
She has been doing this for a few days and I thought she might catch up at night but she generally goes to sleep at around 7.30-8pm and wakes for her first feed at about 3am. I don't feel like she's feeding all night (I'm sure I'd remember).
So I am just a bit concerned that she isn't getting enough milk. I am quite engorged this afternoon. I expected her to reduce her milk gradually but this feels too fast. DH even asked if its possible that she doesn't want bm anymore. I told him I doubted it at 8 months old but I realised that this is what my family are going to say so if we continue to bf its going to look to them like I am forcing her when she wants to wean.
So can you tell me what you think? I don't usually worry about her milk intake but this has gone on for a few days so I'm worrying a bit. Should I just trust that she's getting enough?
