Should I drop to three feeds a day?
« on: May 24, 2012, 06:15:17 am »
DD2 is just over 7 months and doing brilliantly on solids. I know breast milk is the primary source of nutrition until she is 1 but just wondering when to drop from four feeds a day to three. Is it now or later? I can't remember when I dropped back with DD1!

Thanks for the help...

It is recommended to keep 4 feeds til LO is one year old.

We're still on 4 at almost a year and only now thinking of cutting back because I will be going back to work. I'd say keep it up!
