hi all,
i have tried searching for a thread that lead to the same inquiry i have, but couldnt actually find any with similar inquiries.
my dd just turned 12 months this august, and i was wondering how many milk feeds should i give her.
she is on 3 meals and 2 simple snacks and 2 milk feeds and her routines looks something like:
6 am: wake up and breast feed (most nights she wakes around 5 am, and i breast feed her and she goes back to sleep.. i want to get rid of this habit but im a bit scared)
7 am: breakfast
9:30am: half an hour nap (i wake her up)
10:30 am: simple snack (fruits/veg.)
12:30 pm: lunch
2:00 pm: 1.5to 2 hr nap (let her sleep as much as she wants)
4.00 pm: simple snack (fruits/veg.)
6.00 pm: dinner
7.00 pm: formula milk/ then bath/ then bedtime
7:45 pm: bedtime
questions:
1) does she need 2 milk feeds at this age? if so, when should it be reduced to 1 milk feed? which milk feed should be stopped before?
2) i need advice on how to stop my dd habit of waking up around 5 am to breast feed.
3) if i am not interested in giving my dd cow's milk and want to give her rice/almond milk instead, can i wait until she is 2 years old to do that?

thank you guys for this amazing site.. it is a blessing to all of us young parents..
