How often do you BF your 7 month old?

kdiguise · September 2009

DS is getting 3 solid meals a day and nurses first thing in the morning, (usually) once between each meal and a couple times at night. So that's anywhere from 4(usually 5)-7 times in a 24 hour period. I feel like maybe he's not getting enough milk now that he's eating so much solids. I'm probably just overreacting, but I worry! How often are you nursing LO? TIA

DS nurses in the morning, has a bottle of formula at bedtime, and might nurse 2-3 other times throughout the day. He usually STTN, but might wake to nurse once at night. (He also eats three meals of solids during the day.)

My DS nurses the same amount as yours and he also eats three meals of solids. He has tons of wet diapers and was in the 75th percentile for height and weight at his 6 month appointment, so I'm not worried. Mine always wakes to nurse at night as well. Sounds right to me.

I think 7 months was around the time that DS only wanted to nurse at night. He still only nurses at night and once in a while before naps. He will usually nurse first thing in the morning as well.

That said, he still gets up 2-3 times a night so in all probably 4-5 times a day.

During the week she nurses in the morning, takes 3 6oz bottles while I'm at work, then she nurses about 1-2 more times in the evening. During the weekends, I nurse on demand but probably about 6-8 times.

ETA: Oh and she eats 2oz of solids in the afternoon, sometimes I give her another 2oz around dinner time if I feel like it.

DS wakes up once overnight to eat, then eats when he first gets up, right before his 2 naps, and at bedtime. Sometimes it's different, but this is his normal schedule. He eats solids 2-3 times a day, also.

I don't really keep track but around 8-10 times a day. He's always been kind of a snacker and does still nurse in the night.

Mrs.AKP · September 2009

he nurses (or takes a bottle, while at daycare) usually 6-7 times a day. early morning, three times at daycare, once or twice before bed, and usually once or twice during the night. we just started a third "meal" last week- he's still just eating purees, and a few cheerios here and there.
