How much milk??

Question

Hello! I am still breastfeeding my almost 11 month old daughter and I was wondering if anyone could tell me around how many times a day you did/do breastfed your lo at this age.  I work full-time as a teacher and coach softball so I'm home late a lot she only wants 2 bottles while I'm gone so I'm a little worried that she isn't getting enough milk. But I also know that babies start to decrease their milk when they get closer to a year. I'm just looking for other people who breastfed their baby at this age to maybe compare with me. Thanks in advance!

Answer

She's eating solids yeah? She doesn't need that much milk. Some babies are done at this age and just drink whole milk..

Answer

24 oz is about what they need. Maybe it's 18-24 oz. anyway I bf in the morning before and after afternoon nap and then before bed. She's also been getting a 4-5 oz bottle of whole cows milk before bed as well.

Answer

My daughter still nursed every 3 to 4 hours until she was a-year-old. On the days that I worked so she still took three  4 ounce bottles and nursed three times during the day on daycare days. Once she hit a year she boycotted bottles at daycare and drinks only sippy cups-about 7 ounces of milk plus water on top of that while At daycare care and nurses three times on daycare days. On the days that I'm home with her she nurses five times per day but definitely for less duration since she's efficient with eating now. She's 14 months now. I'd like to nurse until she's two if possible but we'll see what she decides

Answer

Probably like ten times a day! But my daughter lovesss nursing. Like even now at three should would nurse that often if I let her but I've cut it down a bit.
