How often do you breastfeed (or formula feed)?

Question

And how many solid meals does your baby eat per day? 
My baby girl will be 7 months old in 4 days and I’ve been feeding her purée once a day, and breastfeeding her about 6 times a day since she turned 6 months old. I’m wondering if other babies eat more than this/when to increase to two meals a day.

Answer

Formula feed - 5 times a day. Solids/purees - 2 times a day.

Answer

I breastfeed on demand usually every 2.5-3 hours during the day and again at 10 pm and 3 am. I have been slow with the solids because we our living with in-laws while our new home build is finishing.

Answer

Breastfeeding about 8 times in a 24 hours period and he’s gets about 4-6oz of formula, ussually 10am, 2pm and 4pm (this one sometimes he skips) then we give him whatever meals we eat as a family at the table, so sometimes it’s 3 sometimes just 1. We feed him the same about of milk/formula regardless of how much solids he gets though.

Answer

We usually breastfeed 5 times during the day and anywhere from 0 to 2 times during the night. Plus we do 2 meals of solids, breakfast and lunch. I’ve been thinking about adding a third solid meal (dinner) soon.

Answer

We still breastfeed 8-10 times a day plus 2 meals, currently trying to move to 3 meals a day. He is 7 months old

Answer

My doc had me increase to three meals a day already and my babe just turned 6 months. Maybe ask your ped? We generally mix our food with breastmilk also

Answer

He gets breakfast, lunch (more like a snack), and dinner. Plus I offer the breast when he wakes up and before he goes down for a nap. I try and dream feed before I go to bed. Sometimes it works, other times he still gets up at 2-3am to nurse. So essentially still breastfeeding on demand, but solids are much more structured.

Answer

My little guy eats 3 meals a day only because he LOVES food (he'll be 7 months on the 28th) and will get mad if we eat without him. We're doing BLW so it's a little easier for me to eat while he's eating. He breastfeeds on demand still and I don't keep track at all.

Answer

Formula feed 4-5 times a day depending on what time he wakes up and if he wakes during the night which is very rare. 
I started with 2 solid meals (breakfast and lunch) usually 1-2 hours after a bottle. At 6 1/2 months I added dinner. Following his lead until he is full but it’s usually me that has to stop feeding him solids because he will just keep eating and then not want his next bottle 🤣 little piggy.
