Okay so we started BLW 10 days before 6 months. I can tell by DS's poops that he's really eating now, they're not firm, but they're pretty pasty and don't go all over his diaper anymore.
Now, as this is happening, I can also tell DS is nursing less. I nurse on demand so I don't even know how many times a day I nurse, but generally every 3 hours around the clock. Sometimes more, sometimes less. So I'm still nursing frequently but I can tell DS is taking less. More often I'm finding my breasts aren't "empty" and even though I still nurse every 3 hours at night, I still wake up leaking. I didn't have any of these experiences before solids. I nurse an hour before we do a solid meal. I offer two a day right now.
Anyone else already noticing a decrease? I'm certainly not trying to replace nursing or anything, totally going slow and following DS's lead on solids. Ugh. I want DS to stay a baby forever. I don't like this growing up business!

Re: BFing moms
We aren't BLW though, I make his puree with fresh fruit or veggies and breast milk.
DD is nursing more, if that's possible. She gets 2 solid meals a day for the past month and a half.
this! we aren't doing blw, dd gets 2 solid meals a day. she's still taking the same amount of milk at daycare (14 oz), but on the days I'm home she nurse every 2 hours. this past week she's been nursing closer to every hour and has been waking up more frequently at night to nurse. I think she might be having a growth spurt.
has your son increased the amount he's eating at each meal of solids?
I BF on the same schedule to be consistent. I was leaking overnight, too. But that was because we just had some CIO success.
