How many times during the day do you nurse?
At my 9 month pediatrician appointment the dr asked how often LO nurses? I said she is still nursing every 2 - 3 hours. She seemed surprised that it was still so often. I mostly do it on demand, and thats the amount of time she usually asks for it, but today I saw my friend who has a daughter 3 weeks younger than my DD, and she said she only nurses about 3 times per day.
She said she offers solids first, then does breastfeeding, but I thought that seemed like such a small amount per day.
Am I the only one feeding my daughter that often at 9 months old? How often do you nurse?

Re: How many times do you nurse- day?
It's about 2 to 3 hours it seems.
I believe in following the baby/toddlers lead. There are days she just isn't that interested, so I let it be.

I'd be concerned if she was only nursing 3x a day. My older girls were nursing more than that at 18 months.
