Our LO is almost nine months old and I am wondering how often I should be nursing him and how long he should be going in between feedings..? What are you doing?

    She gets around 6 bottles a day, which equates to around 32 oz or so.  Plus, solids two times a day.

    I nurse on demand during the day and it could be anywhere from once every 1.5 hours to once every 3 hours. He also gets 2 solid meals a day.

    She gets 4 bottles a day. Once in a while, she wakes up in the middle of the night and gets a 5th smaller bottle if she is hungry.

    She also gets 3 solid/pureed meals a day.

    Exactly this. We rarely go three hours though unless we're out and he's super occupied/napping.

    Mine nurses every time he wakes up from a nap - and a few times in between. Usually about 5-6 times a day. He also gets some baby food and a tbsp of cereal in the morning and in the evening.

    5 times a day. When she wakes up in the morning, when she gets up from her first nap, when she gets up from her second nap, dinner time, and before bed. Recently I've been needing to nurse her once overnight, I think because she's teething, but most of the time she sttn. She also gets 3 solid meals a day.

    Same for us. DD also nurses at least twice during the night too, so usually she nurses at least 8 times total in any 24 hr period.

    8ish - 6 oz plus food

    12ish - food with a sippy (filled with 8 oz.)

    2ish - Rest of the sippy

    4ish - Finger food snack (usually a few crackers or carrots)

    6ish - Dinner with a sippy (about 2 ounces)

    7:30ish - 8 oz.

    So...she get's 3 bottles/sippys of straight milk and also has a sippy available while eating.  She usually drinks 24 ounces a day.

    He nurses once in the morning, gets 2 to 4 bottles at daycare (depending on if he doesn't sleep as much) plus two meals of 'solids', nurses once in the evening plus some baby food, and then a bottle before bed (a bottle just so I know he's getting enough so that he can make it through the night).
