BF question!

99frontier

Hi ladies! I'm from the Aug 12 board and have a 9.5 month old who I plan on BFing probably until he self weans or until I decide I'm done. Right now he still nurses about 5 times a day (4:30am, 8:30am, 12:30pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm, roughly). I'm just wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing how many times a day and at what times your LO's nurse. Just trying to get an idea of how much changes in a matter of two months! Thank you so much!! :-)

DD will be 1 next week. We nurse about 4-5x a day sometimes less. She just started sleeping through the night. She eats around 6am when she wakes. We go out have breakfast, play on the floor. Sometimes she likes to nurse but often playing then. I try not to nurse again until an afternoon nap and always before bed. If I am at work she hasn't been getting a bottle of BM and will be content with just food. She has just started whole milk and has like 2oz a day for practice.

DS nurses at wakeup, before his nap [he's transitioned to one nap already] when iwith him, before bed, and once or twice at night. That's it!

My boys nurse: 6:30am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, 5pm & 7:30pm (some nights they nurse around 4am as well). The 10am and 2pm are before their nap. 

They eat breakfast around 8am, lunch 1pm and dinner 6pm (about 1/3 purees still and 2/3 regular food)

I nurse on demand, so I can't give you times, but she nurses about 8 times a day, sometimes more.

DD will be one on June 17 and for the past month she nurses 3 times a day 7:30, 2:30, 7:30. She also eats two solid meals 11:00, 5:00. She sleeps through the night so she does not nurse during the night. I also give her Cheerios during the day.

I am nursing 2-3x a day now and she gets a cup of whole milk with lunch and dinner. Before I introduced whole milk she nursed approx 5-6x a day. 7, 10, 1, 4 & 7. And if she wakes up at night she nurses then as well.

Same here. DD is a nursing machine, even with 3 full meals a day  

My DD is also a booby girl. I am fine with it. She gets 4 solid meals/ day.
