My LO will be six months on Saturday.
Since around 4 months she has not taken very much milk upon waking in the morning. She wakes up wanting to play, not asking for milk at all. When I offer it to her she will take a few gulps and then be done. I have tried waiting anywhere from 30-60 minutes and it is the same story. She ends up taking a bigger feed right before her morning nap (2 -2.5 hours after waking).
She is taking one or two night-feeds (after a 7:30pm bedtime) and this is still very unpredictable. We seem to be getting closer to a consistent one only night-feed but not there yet!
It doesn't seem to matter when her night feed(s) is/are because it is the same story: she barely eats anything at the first morning feed. The other night she did her only night feed at 11:30pm and then took very little breastmilk at 8:30am.
We were getting used to this schedule but then we started solids 10 days ago and now I am bit concerned that it is just a snack-fest in the morning because she would have had two breastfeeds and one solid feed all before her first nap, but none of the feeds are that big. Should I move the solids later in the day and just wait for her to ask for breast milk in the morning? We usually do a second solid feed in the late afternoon, in between the last day feed and the bedtime feed. She is barely eating any solids at this point, just tasting a bit and then making a mess.
Sometimes I wonder if I over-think all of this....
