Thank you for any help, I cant seem to find an answer to this particular question.
A bit of backround..
My baby is 8 months, eating well now after a slow start on solids at 6 months, but still sometimes fussy/not interested in eating. Ive always breastfed on demand, and she has always refused a bottle, but can drink from a sippy cup or open cup
Im now reducing breastfeeding to twice a day, and night feeds 1-2 times- Im fed up with being so tied to her and shes accepted the change pretty easily the last couple of days. I also think she may eat better if Im not so generous with breastfeeding a million times a day..
My question is, at her age and if eating solids well, is 2 breastfeeds a day enough milk or do I still need to top her up with formula?
If so how much formula do I need to aim for?
Shes drinking the formula from the sippy-cup instead of water, but not seeming to get through very much.
Do I need to offer water as well separately?
If I am able to reduce the night feeds in future will she be missing out more? I forget to count these as nutrition and think of them as convenience for making her sleep..
Thankyou for reading all that!
