BFing varies at 11 months..
« on: October 15, 2014, 15:21:32 pm »
Claire BFs 4x a day..7:00am, 11:00 am, 3 and 7 pm.  Claire eats solids 3 x a day ...8am, 12 pm and 4:30 pm...problem is I have had horrible blocked ducts off and on for over a week.  Claire varies from good BFing to poor.  She is also very distracted.  She loves food too.  I want to do the best for her, but hard when I am uncomfortable most of the time.  :-(. Any suggestions on weaning Claire to 3 x BFing ...maybe shifting the 11 am BF and 3 pm to sometime in the middle without compromising her afternoon nap, my milk supply as well as constant blocked ducts?

I'd probably offer a solids snack like fruit and/or yogurt at 11 and then BF after her nap.
