Weaning and breastmilk
in Baby
Hi Connor has been on 3 meals a day for nearly 2 weeks and dropped to 3 breastfeeds a day, which i assume is fine.
Yesterday though he didnt have any milk in the day but had 2 feeds at night is this ok?
Im worried he doesnt want my milk anymore, he used to go on the breast for comfort too now he doesnt even do that
Is all this normal?
Thanks
Gill

I know i cut down to 3 a day when Zach was about 6/7months and then 2 a day when he was 9/10 months and then finally only 1 bf at night when he was 11 months.
He was having about 5 breastfeeds when he was on 2 meals but HV told me to give him a 3rd as his weight gain had slowed

My lo also shows less interest in bfing now she's on 3 meals, she will still take milk feeds but it often seems like it's more comfort than anything. She also had a period when her weight gain slowed down and my hv suggested adding lots of dairy to her food as it is high in fat as well as calcium. So we we've been adding cows mlilk, cheese, cream etc to pureed food, as well as lots of fromage frais for desserts.
