  DD gets 3 bottles while i'm at work.  Then i nurse before bed (around 6:30 PM) and usually once in the middle of the night (around 3:30 AM).

  During the week...maybe 3-5 times.  I nurse him before I leave, during lunch, before bed and whenever he wakes up in the middle of the night.  Sometimes he wants to nurse as soon as we get home for the day.

  On the weekends, I really don't know, I never bothered to count because it can be a lot at times.  He still comfort sucks pretty often.

  I nurse him in the AM before work, he gets 3 four oz bottles at the sitters and he nurses before bed. If he is extra cranky/fussy with teeth, sick etc, he sometimes nurses once in the middle of the night.

  Once after she wakes up, once after her mornig nap, once after her afternoon nap, and once before bed.  So 4. 

  But she's been barely taking the after am nap session.  I'm actually going to be cutting that one out next week and replacing it with Cows milk.  And she's not nursing before bed as much either.  so that one may be next.

  DS nurses/gets bottles about 5 times/day (7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm).  I pump while I'm at work so he gets bottles at daycare, although they're a lot smaller than they used to be.  On the weekends when I'm home with him, he can sometimes drop one of those feedings though.

  This is what our days are like, but he gets 3 five oz bottles. He even frequently wakes at night and I have to nurse him back to sleep. During the weekends/ my days off I usually nurse him about 4-5 times per day.

  He nurses three times (when he wakes up, before his nap and mid-afternoon) and then gets a bottle of formula and nurses a bit before bed.

  Aven still nurses around 6 times a day.  Sometimes a little less if we are running around all day.  She still doesn't eat much baby food.

  During the week, usually:

  1. First thing in the AM upon waking
  2. Before I leave for work
  3. Small bottle of BM pre-AM nap
  4. 1-2 ~4 oz bottles the rest of the day
  5. Right away when I get home
  6. Nurse to sleep
  7. At least once at night.

  Wow, it feels like she's cut down a lot but written out like that it looks like a bunch still!

  I nurse DD before I leave for work and right before she goes to bed. I also pump 3x a day to get her the 3 bottles she takes at daycare...so 5 total.

  Only twice per day.  Upon waking and when I get home from work. She gets bottles at daycare and before bed.

  Anywhere from 4-6 depending on what kind of a day he is having. I think 1-2 of those are just for comfort nursing really.

  First thing in the morning (between 7-8am)

  he goes to daycare and barely drinks 1 4 oz bottle of formula there (he's there for 5 hours)

  Before his afternoon nap (3pm)

  A bit after he wakes up from his nap (usually around 6pm)

  Before bed (8-9pm)

  Again when we go to bed (we bed share) (11-12)

  and then comfort nurses a few times during the night. So 4-5 times not counting the comfort nursing at night?

   

  Oh yeah, and he eats a fair amount of solids throughout the day.

  Thanks for posting this.  I was wondering the same thing.  My LO is almost 9 months, so a bit younger.  I'm a SAHM, and it's very infrequent that he gets a bottle.  I nurse him at least 3 times during the day (before morning nap, afternoon nap, and bedtime), and he still comfort nurses 1-2 during the night.  And depending on the timing of everything, he usually nurses once or twice more during the day.  He's also eating 3 meals/day of baby food and finger foods.  I wonder if he's getting enough milk, but he so rarely seems to act like he wants more milk.  My pedi said he should be nursing about 4 times/day and getting 4-5 oz each time.  Of course I don't know the quantity, but I do believe in supply and demand.
