BLW 9.5mo not wanting to bf during day
« on: December 10, 2010, 12:36:01 pm »
My BLW 9.5mo is not wanting to bf during day.  He literally wakes up crawling and wont feed then.  He has always fed himself and spits out anything I give w/ spoon so I don't give extra milk there.  I offer a bottle of formula several times a day but he signs "more" to me which usually means I want "real food".  He is a VERY big eater though and my sister said he eats more than her 2yo.  Any advice.  I have just been following him but now he is NW to Bf (which I though might be teething and still could be).  I've read the excerpt on dropping the df which I still do.  When I've tried to give it 15min earlier he still wakes at the df time very AWAKE.(granted that could be teething too.
EASY
wake 5am- put in bed by me and he goes back to sleep.
wake 6:30 bf(very little on 1 side)
7 bk
9-9:30 nap (2 hr) this may be my problem and I need to shorten this to 1 hr.

12 lunch
3:00 nap (1hr)

Have you tried limiting his solids a bit to see if he'll be hungry for milk?
