Dropping milk feeds
in Baby
Hi All
Hoping to draw on your expertese apologies in advance as I think there was a similar post quite recently. DS2 is 20 weeks and is weaning, he is doing great and has porridge for brekkie, stewed fruit for lunch and then veggies for dinner. Until yesterday he was still havin breast feeds at 7am 9am, 11 am 12 pm 3pm 4pm 6 pm 7:30 pm and then one or two feeds through the night. He now seems to be dropping his 11am and 3 pm feeds before yesterday when put on he would literally only take a few sucks and that was it whereas at the other feedtimes he takes the full breast with the 730 feed both breasts are taken.
is he too young to be dropping these feeds, with ds1 I bottle fed so it was easy for me to see how much milk he was getting but as there is no wee valve on my nips I'm not that sure LOL
I am thinking that he should be ok but as all mummies are am just concerned!
thanks in advance for the help xx

HTH a little x
Jacob has changed his milk feeds since weaning, he has a bottle 7-8oz at 6.30, 10am- 6oz 2pm-6oz 7pm7-8oz. And his 3 meals a day..7.30, 12pm, 4pm. He physically wont take milk with food though!
He will drink when he is hungry/thirsty. At some point they will drop them anyway, I guess its just hard to know how much he is taking.
Sorry not much help really! lol
