Dd is 23 weeks. Been having some fruit/veg puréed for 4 weeks now, scoffs everything offered like its her first meal in a week, all good. Thing is I started off giving her breakfast (bit of rusk or some fruity porridge stuff mixed up with either ebm if I could get anything off, or her normal formula she has if I'm not there. 3/4 days later she starts getting seriously hungry at lunch time and is wanting boob every half hour, this carried on until bed time one day, and I just thought growth spurt/ill and went with it, next day same again. Third day my mother was there, and she said give her some lunch not boob, so I did, and hey presto, happy baby....... Until tea time then she starts with the whole starving routine again and won't be satisfied with boob. 3 weeks on and she wants 3 meals a day, and will not entertain boob when she thinks she should be having her food.
So now she has bf when she wakes, breakfast an hour or so later, bf an hour after that, bf an hour before lunch, an hour after lunch, then a quick boob mid afternoon, an hour before tea, an hour after tea and again at bedtime. She also wakes about 11 some nights and has a feed, some nights she sleeps through, others not, but I just offer boob if she wakes.
Does this sound ok? This is dc3 and I've never weaned a bf baby before, ds was ff, dd was bf until 5.5 months when I went back to work, so by the time she was weaning onto solids at 6mo she was happily in a bottle routine. I suppose I'm just worried that she doesn't seem to take a lot when she does bf, only feeds 5 mins max, usually only 1 side and always comes off mid gulp, she never feeds to sleep any more.
