How many feeds at eight months?
Hi ladies,
My lo is just over eight months and currently on three solid meals and four breast feeds a day.
Should I be looking to drop one of these feeds? Her current routine is:
7.30ish - bf
8.30ish - breakfast
10.30ish - bf
midday - lunch
2.30ish - bf
5pm - dinner
6.30ish - bf
Should it be this 10.30am feed I should be looking to drop? She is not always really hungry for lunch so this may help, although I do worry about her not getting enough milk.
btw, she wakes up anything from once to three times in the night and I feed her back to sleep (hasn't once slept through!). Any tips on solving this would also be very much appreciated. I'm ready to let her cry it out but not sure oh is!
Thanks x

He has also never slept through waking 2-3 times for milk. We started giving him porridge for supper about 2 hours after tea and now he has 1 half hearted (habit i think) feed in the night

6.30 - 7ish - early morning bf
8.30-9ish - breakfast and bf
12.30-1 ish - lunch and bf
4.30-5ish - tea and bf
7.30-8ish - bf
so he's still getting 5 feeds a day, but 3 are together with food, and i offer cooled boiled water with the meal, bf after, so it works better for me in geting out and about easily.
just an idea as everyone does it differently, and every baby is different.
good luck xxx
