Number of Breastfeeds...
« on: October 03, 2005, 00:36:40 am »
Hi there,

My l/o just turned 9 months and I was wondering how many breast feeds a day  most moms still give. 

I have just stopped the dreamfeed and I am down to 4 feeds following the 4-5 hour EASY cycle.  The 2 and 3 feeds are really quick though - like 6 minutes.  It seems like he isnt eating at all!  But, he's downing 3 meals a day(solids) with only a little juice at lunch.  IS this normal?

Yep, he sounds perfect. Try to keep up on those 4 feeds until 11 months or so, then drop them as he is ready. Or don't! My 15 month old is still nursing 2x/day.
