My LO will be 6 months old in a week. He started solids when he was 4.5 months old. We've slowly worked up to 3 meals/day and he is doing great - enjoys every meal. He also get breastmilk 5 times a day:
7:00 BF
8:00 Solids
11:00 BF
12:00 Solids
3:00 BF
5:00 Solids
7:00 BF
11:00 / 3:00 BF (dreamfeed/night waking)
When he is home with me, he nurses and usually takes about 10 mins to get done. This nursing time has decreased from the 20-25 mins he used to take when he was 4 months. But my understanding is that this is okay, since babies get more efficient as they are older?
Anyway, my concern is with the 2 bottles he get while he is at daycare. He used to drink 4.5 to 5 oz of pumped breastmilk. But his DCP says he is now only drinking 3.5 - 4 oz. Do I need to be concerned? He has regular wet/BM diapers, is putting on weight fine, and is a happy, playful baby.
