HI Vidya - i saw Gracekelly's mom's reply in BF forum and thought i woudl check in with you . i still think as per my reply to you in the jan/feb forum which was:
"my only thought about your situation is that with 6 breastfeeds i think she is too full to increase her solids. Personally i woudl not add in formula, your body will certainly be making enough milk as it is based on demand and with 6 BF a day i imagine your supply is good right? if it were me i woudl take the plunge and cut back the BF a little and give it a few days for her and you to adjust , which YES could mean she might wake in the night once or twice or NOT at all. but just like any other change they need to adjust and i really don't think she will initiate it if she is happily feeding that much. i woudl definitely at 8 mo be pushing to 4 hr feeds and getting her settled into a new food routine gradually. start with one breast and solid combo and work your way up until all feed cycles are better. HTH"
but i also wondered what happens when you try to increase her A time now? forgive me for not recalling if you mentioned in previous posts on our thread...
also - if you cannot incraese A time too much yet (which would stretch out the feeds and hopefully lead to 2 naps) i was looking at your routine again and thought instead of Bf so much in the early evening, could you do BF only after 2nd nap and then move those solids to after the 3rd nap so it is more "dinner" - if you include some cereal or other carb, it (in combination with the bedtime feed) could help carry her through the night without the extra BF
