How often do your 7-month-old breastfed babies eat?

Question

My little guy only nurses 4-5 times per day. Eats three small solid meals per day after nursing, and sleeps 11-11.5 hours straight at night. We don’t see pediatrician until 9M but he looks healthy and chunky. Of course I still worry he’s not getting enough.
Just wondering what other mommies are doing?

Answer

How do you get your baby to sleep that long? Mine will be 8 months on May 2nd and I need help. I also breastfeed and just started staying home with him. How many naps do you do during the day and how long?

Answer

8 breastfeeds a day and one overnight. Two solid meals and one snack. I could halve the breastfeeds except he is spewy so need to space them out so he doesn’t vom everything everywhere.

Answer

Every 3 hours. Sometimes she’ll go 4 hours at night but rarely.

Answer

Mine seems to be very similar to yours! She nurses 5 times a day between 7am and 7pm, and I offer purées 3 times a day (these amounts vary daily- whatever she wants). Hopefully we’re on the right track!

Answer

I do 5 sessions during the day from 7am-ish to 7pm-ish. She night weaned herself. She does about either one to three small meals a day. 
Naps 2-3 hours during the day between usually 2 naps. And sleeps about 11 hours at night. Wakes up at 6 am and chats to herself. I come get her out of her crib at 645ish.

Answer

My son loves solids so much that he’s already showing signs of losing interest in breastfeeding, which makes me sad. He is almost 8 months and eats 3 meals a day and nurses maybe 3-4 times a day. He’s not a great sleeper (mostly will sleep one 5-6 hour stretch, waking up 2-3 times a night) but a very healthy weight, about 21 pounds and 29”.

Answer

BF about every two hours around the clock-three typically at night. Barely any solids yet.
