I have never had much of a goal about bf, I just knew I wanted to bf my dc when he/she was born.
DS is now 9 months and I am very happily still feeding him, even though I've been back at work for 3 months full time shift working and busily expressing.
I definitely want to keep going till one, but am undecided about whether to try and move to cow's milk or not.
It is quite tiring rushing about expressing at work, and because I work shifts, I'd probably still have to keep at it for the bed time feed for example.
How do older babies normally feed - would he be likely to be down to mornings and bed times? (I know they'd all be different but your experiences would be interesting)
Would it be possible to maybe just keep one feed a day going and offer him cow's milk the rest of the time? I could probably fit in a morning feed.
He is fed on demand when I am not at work, but does seem to have fallen into a wee pattern in between meals I suppose. He has a feed on waking, round about midday and at bedtime (goes down about 8). He also has an extra one at about 4 or 5 am, the timing of this one varies depending on if he is feeling poorly, or has gone to bed late etc.
I would kind of like to give him the benefit of still feeding, but feel it would be difficult to fit round work, and would really like to stop expressing at work when he's one
Thanks in advance all, excuse the post length
