can anyone help me? I can't work out a feeding routine
Hello,
Well Teddy is 7 1/2 months old he has three solid meals a day and breastfeeds 2-3 times a night, once before breakfast, sometimes one mid morning if not before lunch the a couple of feeds in the afternoon then again about 3 times before bed.
Has any one manage to find a routine that works because Teddy seems to be all over the place?
Do you feed just before breakfast, lunch and dinner or just after or inbetween?
I would just like to know other peoples routines to see if I can establish a better one my self.
Thank you in advance for any advise people could give me.
Kimberley and Teddy

My lo is nearly 11 months and has a long bf first thing in the morning and one just before bedtime with typically another one during the day. I'm trying to remember what he was doing at 7 months - think he was on four a day, one first thing, one mid morning, one mid afternoon and one before bed. It's only more in the last couple of months that he is less interested in the daytime feeds. I tend not to feed just after he has a meal as he is less hungry and therefore takes less milk. Only advice I can give is to try and bf in a quiet place with no distractions as if there's antyhing going on when I'm bfing then my lo just gets far too nosy and won't feed as well. Hope that helps!

I would suggest you might want to start cutting out the night time bf'ds. They are very likely to be habit. Your lo should be getting enough solids during the day, and if not it is probably because the night time feeds are interfering. We cut ours out one at a time, by offering water. It took a little while, but it did work eventually. You may find that that helps the daytime routine too, and vice versa!. Good luck. x
I'll keep updated.
