8.5 month old still nursing every 2 hours?

So my 8.5 month old still nurses every 2 hours and eats 2 jars of pureed food a day! she has no interest in baby led weaning, won't even touch the food unless it's given to her on a spoon. She's in 18-24 month old clothes already which I assume is down to all the nursing she still does lol just wondering if anyone else's baby still nurses ALOT?

Oh my goodness what a cutie! My LO will be 8 months next Tuesday. She nurses every 3-4 hours before she gets hangry lol We only do solids a few times a week. She can still wear 6 month clothes. 6-9 are still a little big on her.

My LO nurses every 1 hr to 3hr during the day and is still in 6mth clothes at 7.5 months (born May 31, 2017). I think that is pretty normal from what I've read. We are doing BLWing, one meal a day for now....sometimes 2 if she seems to want to share my lunch.

I understand. I can just picture the look my girl would give me if I tried to not nurse on demand...she gives little fits as it is if I'm slow getting to boob out after a 3hr span lol

She has such a cute smile! Thanks for posting this it's reassuring to know it's normal, I just get a little worried when I see lots of people on here/Facebook and in real life saying how their baby eats alot of food at this age and barely nurses/has 3 bottles a day which is crazy to me! my LO would be on the boob all day if she could lol

My baby Bella is nursing still every 3 hours and already used 12 months clothes but it just fits perfectly so maybe next month she’s going to be 12 to 18 months clothes she’s eating baby food twice a day she’s growing so fast 😍😍😍

My daughter nurses a ton unless we’re out and she’s really distracted. But she always makes up for it at night! 😜

I think every baby is different. mine nurses whenever she feels like it and I think it's like every 2-3 hours. she's nine months old. the other day she nursed for about 25 minutes and then ate 2 and a half pouches of food! (we get her the pouches cuz she likes to feed herself) I was like dang you fat baby! She is wearing 6-9 and sometimes 12 month clothing, I guess depends on the brand. I don't think you should worry so much unless you don't want to nurse her anymore....but at her age she should still be primarily nursing. my daughter doesn't eat real food all the time just when she asks for it...otherwise she is just nursing. hope I helped somehow.

That’s normal. There milk intake isn’t supposed to diminish just because they eat solids
