Still bf

PaMommy02

For those of you still nursing, how many sessions are you down to per day? We are at about 5 but they are not very good/long ones like before. LO has been nursing for only 5 mins then bites me then pulls off, he used to nurse great! He loves his baby food though! I'm starting to loose my supply too because of the drop in feedings and length of feedings . It's too soon for real milk right... He's 9 months? I hate to start introducing formula this late in game. Any tips?

I am still bf but at our 9 month appointment the peditrician said we could add whole milk to her sippy instead of water. I'm not sure if this is because my LO isn't on the growth chart or not but I nurse or bottle feed 6 to 7 times a day still.

We're in the exact same situation, though we're usually at 4 pretty good sessions or 5 not very good sessions. Our pedi said that soon he'll wean down to 3 sessions (morning, afternoon, evening) and stay that way until 11-12 months, when we can replace th

I just started adding 2 pumped bottles on weekends, I work during the week, because LO wanted to nurse 500 times a day. He likes to nurse every 2hrs

K still nurses 7 times a day.  It's a little ridiculous. The pedi today said at least three is expected at 9 months.

Great question, I've been wondering the same.  I nurse 4-5 times a day.  LO eats every 3-4 hours, but he is closer to 4 hours between nursing.  Some sessions seem great, others he seems not to be interested.  I see the pedi next week f

We are down to 3 sessions a day, and even those are a struggle.  Hayden will be 10 months next week (how did that happen!). Not given her any cows milk in her sippy yet, but do cook with it a lot. She eats 3 meals a day and one or two snacks too.

No tips really. We are on about 5, maybe only 4, feeds a day on days I don't work. And 2 overnight most nights.

I drink a lot of full fat cow milk. So I have been letting LO have some small sips of that from time to time since his 9 month bir

She nurses in the morning, and assuming she gets around 4-6 oz at that feeding. During the day at DC she is drinking 15 oz (3, 5oz bottles), and has a 6 oz bottle at night before bed. She's way too distracted to nurse before bed. I'm guessing
