I am returning to work and have dropped my 9 month old DS bedtime feed but he is still not taking hardly any formula, we will keep offering.

This means he has a bf when he wakes 6 ish and mid afternoon, he eats breakfast, lunch and dinner really well.

Is this enough for a 9 month old or should i be offering him more ? even though he does not seem interested, thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue with my 8 1/2 month old - the HV said as long as he was having a good varied diet with lots of yoghurt/cheese for the calcium, it wouldn't really matter. He's got 8 teeth now too and has started biting me so sadly I'm going to finish breastfeeding my the end of this month and I expect we'll just offer him formula when he wakes - always starving - at 5.30 - 6am!

Am soooo gutted to finish breastfeeding, ironic really as I hated it to start with!!
