who's still breastfeeding?

Question

How often are you breastfeeding? And if you pump bottles for daycare how many oz/ bottles per day? My chunker is loving food and I am confused on how much bm she needs!

Answer

For us breastfeeding on demand has allowed us not to lose our minds. When I first had him I kept writing down how long he would drinking and looking at the clock and eventually I stopped and now it's way better

Answer

I still breastfeed every 2-3 hours during the day, occasionally he'll go 4 hours. He also eats  breakfast and dinner.

Answer

I breastfeed every couple hours. At night she still wakes up maybe once or twice to eat also. I'm feeding solids once in the morning and maybe a snack at night. Breast milk is still the main thing your baby needs. The solids are just for them to explore flavors and textures. It is not to replace breast feeding

Answer

Breastfeeding every 2 hours or so during the day, solids 2x per day (maybe moving to 3 if she can get the hang of digesting them faster...the wait between poops kills me). She is eating once per night (it was 2x two weeks ago) and just getting more into solids.

Answer

I think breastfeeding is coming to an end for us and I'm okay with it. I never thought I'd make it to 6 months when I went back to work and he's 7.5 months old. Have probably 2 weeks of frozen supply if I keep breastfeeding at night.... which I plan on trying. I've been pumping once while at work and get anywhere from 6-10 ounces. I don't stress myself out about it anymore. He's eating more food and we have seemed to have found a formula he likes. I'm just happy and thankful we made it this far!

Answer

We are still at it too. Luna nurses 6 times in a 24hr period. She honestly has been on the same schedule since 6mo since we started solids. She eats like a champ on snacks all day and seems to eat the same amount at nursing like she had been. So basically the solids are supplemental to what we had already been doing.

Answer

I still breastfeed every 2-3 hours through the day and give lo one container, or half a pouch, of food at dinner time. She still struggles with her weight so pediatrician said he wants her to still be getting calories from nursing.

Answer

Breastfeeding on demand as well. The more he eats food, the less I breastfeed during the day but no matter what, he breastfeeds during the night, at least twice a night 40-60 mins and during naps. 10am, 2pm, 6pm for about 20-25 mins.

Answer

My girl has really slowed down on the nursing and I'm also concerned she's not getting enough milk. I'm considering switching to pumping/bottles just so I know how much she's getting. Currently nursing 3-4 times a day (I try to push 4) and having 3 meals of solids/finger foods. She generally asks for solid food after nursing too. I've heard they need 20-30oz a day so at 4 feeds that's 6ish oz each time.

Answer

She nurses about 6 times a day - supplement with formula. I pump once when I'm at work, I work 4 days/week
