How many times a day do you bf a 11mo?

[winnybella]

She was always bf lots and on demand. Last month or so, it's been much less, but it sort of came about naturally, as she is a great eater and has 3 meals a day plus a snack.
So...she sleeps through the night, mostly and wakes up between 4.30 and 5.30 and I take her to bed and she has one or two bf before we get up around 8 o'clock.
She has one in the afternoon and one before bedtime.
So it's just 3 or 4 a day and for the bedtime one she often doesn't seem to take as much as she already had dinner and is sleepy after her bath.
Is this enough or should I increase the feedings?

Am not an expert but is similar to my DD1. As long as she is well, gaining weight, sleeping and eating well then sounds fine. DD2 was less by 11mo (morning and evening only) unless she was unwell or having a growth spurt then she would want more. As long as you and she are happy then go with the flow I say

Sounds very simalar to the way my ds feeds.

A long feed from 4.30 ish to when we get up
one at 10 am ish
one at 4 ish
one at bed time 6.30 ish

Ish ish !

perfectly normal

lots of babies may even only take two feeds a day at this age, as long as you're letting her feed if she asks there's no problem

Ok, thank you!
