Hi,
My DS is nearly 10mos old and I'm hoping to cut down to 2 breast feeds in the next couple of weeks. I'm going back to work when he turns 11mos, so hoping to give him some time to settle in to the new routine instead of changing too much at once. Our current routine looks like this:
6am WU breast
7:30am solids
nap
10am snack after nap (yoghurt)
12pm solids
nap
3pm breast after nap
5pm solids
6:30pm breast
7pm bedtime
We replaced the 10am breastfeed with a snack at 8mos and that went fine. I did it then because he started to seem bored at that feed. He loves solids and eats loads at all sittings. He hasn't shown the same signs of wanting to cut out the afternoon feed, but given its been nearly 2 months on 3 breastfeeds and my need to cut out the afternoon breastfeed before I start back work, I'm wondering if I can go ahead and switch it. I'm open to replacing the afternoon breastfeed with a sippy of formula if that would be the best route. Because he's breastfed, I have no idea how much he drinks. The last time we did a pumped bottle was when he was around 8weeks and he was taking down 7oz at bedtime then.
Thanks in advance for any help!
