Re: At what age does BM consumption peak?

    I assume you're talking quantity and not length of feeding.  My DD had her largest bottles - almost 6oz - at around 5 mos.  That was probably a little growth spurt.  Toward 6 mos, she settled in with 4oz bottles.  We started food at 6mos, but she wasn't eating more that a teaspoon or two at first.  Now, her bottles are 2-3 oz.  She gets most of her nutrients from table food.

    Excellent question - I was wondering the same exact thing today. DS has really taken to solids lately and he seems to be taking in the same amount of BM that he was at 6 months when we started solids.

    I think LO had a growth spurt right around 5.5 months where she was eating the most. She hadn't started solids yet. I don't know if she's drinking less BM now, but I'm still sending the same amount to daycare and she's finishing the bottles. So I guess I would say she plateaued at 5.5 months, but I haven't seen the amount go down yet.
