How many BFs in 24hrs are/were your 6mos olds doing
« on: December 20, 2013, 19:14:22 pm »
I'd just like an idea pls of how many BFs your 6mos olds are/were doing?

With C she was on a consistent 4hr feeding and pretty much STTN by now but with g there's no consistency or pattern to her feeds just yet.

She probably has 4-5bfs per day and 2-3 at night (one of these is an early morning feed really).

Thanks!

At 6.5 months, We're consistently on 4 bf's during the day and seem to be stuck on two at night (when there's no reflux at play like there is now).

I think - and memory is a bit hazy - we were on 5 during the day and 1-2 at night.

we were on 5 in 24 hrs, sometimes an EWing 6th for Oscar or an extra evening settler for Emma. Mine were both excellent nighttime 11-5 ish sleepers, 7-11pm was Emma's hairy time (always - and still is) and 4-7am was and still is Oscar's. Was always guaranteed a good stretch from 11-5 though and kept the DF up till 10-10.5 mths with both of them as I didn't want to mess with regular 8-9hr stretches or at worst 6-7hr ones.

The girls were on 4 during the day and one at night , James was 4-5 during the day and 2 at night.  He never napped well at that age so we sometimes had a 5th day feed.
