7 1/2 mths - 3 solid meals and 5 breastmilk feeds per day!!
« on: July 26, 2005, 02:57:51 am »
Am still breast feeding 5 times a day - at 4am then after solids at breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a feed around 4pm after the afternoon sleep when he is crying and nothing else works.
How many feeds at this age are babies having. Have been told to breast feed on demand but he has been on 5 feeds a day since 3 months old...surely I should be dropping the 4am and 4pm feeds - how?
Would love some help as I dont want to be feeding forever!!

My dd is 7 months-1 week and she is also feeding solids three times a day as well as bf 4-5 times a day.  Where does all the food go  :lol: !!!  She seems to be doing just fine with all these feeds. I just watch her cues to stop or give more and will continue to do this.  She eats for breakfast: 2 tblsp. cereal and 2 cubes fruit, Lunch: 2 cubes veggie and 1 cube fruit, Dinner: 2 tblsbp. cereal, 2 cubes veggie and 1 cube fruit. Wow, now that I write this down it does seem like a lot  :shock: ! But she eats it all and seems satisfied. She sometimes wakes up and feeds at around 3-4 a.m. but most times lasts until 6-7 a.m. for an early bf.  If she wakes up at 3-4 I reswaddle her and give her a pacifier and it seems to settle her down until 6-7ish.  I say sometimes because there are night when she wakes up and feeds as if she had not eaten all day!! HTH, momtomiya

Hi my little one is 7 months and she eats more than that,! But she is still waking in the early morning around 3/4am for milk!! sorry if i am repeating myself i have just written this in another post, . I amn wondering, if like myself my body needs longer now to make the amount of milk that my baby needs to stay satisfied for longer. i have now introduced a few ounces of formula to top her some of her feeds up....
or give her milky products like cheese/yoghurt.... worth a try... anything for some sleep...
