Dropping feedings....

aklessig · September 2013

Recently my 8.5-month-old DD began napping later and later into the afternoon and missing her late afternoon feeding. (I am EBF) Last week she dropped it completely and now only feeds 4 times per day. (She also eats solids for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.) she still sleeps through the night, and seems content as usual. She has 4-5 wet diapers per day and 1-2 dirty diapers as well. This is pretty normal for her. I'm just worried she isn't getting enough breast milk. What do other EBF moms think?

I EBF, and my 8 month old son is still getting 5 feedings per day, with 3 solid food meals. I think he could drop down to 4 soon, though. I feel like I'm sometimes offering the mid-afternoon feeding, and he's kind of wishy-wasy about it.

This is EXACTLY what was happening!!! Eventually she just slept thru the late pm feeding altogether. Good to hear another baby like mine.
