If you only nurse (no bottles) how often/day?

Question

How many times are you breastfeeding your little one if you nurse and give solids and you don’t bottle feed? 
Mine still nurses 8+ times a day, just curious if that’s normal. He also wakes at least once a night to nurse.
I’m thinking maybe it’s because he also doesn’t use a pacifier?

Answer

My daughter is always at my nipple all day and all night. 10+ she will just come and randomly pull down my shirt to nurse. I think it’s a comfort thing and going through separation anxiety because any time I set her down or walk away to the table or somewhere she cries! 🤔

Answer

My son still nurses all he wants so it could be like 8-20 times a day. But I mean he also only eats for like 2 minutes every time because he just gets distracted and wants to do other things. My son also still wakes up like 5 times a night and feeds 3 or so times out of that five. I've let the bad habit of that continue but he is also teething something awful Haha.

Answer

I only nurse about three times a day. My LO eats meals and doesn't wake through the night.
I will say there is no right way here, it all just depends on the child.

Answer

Probably 3-4 times a day and anywhere from 1-3 times a night 😂 during the day she barely nurses though because she’s distracted and she is eating 3 solid meals a day.

Answer

My son nurses five times a day, three solid meals a day. He sleeps through the night but it helps that his longest nursing feed is before bed :)

Answer

It feels like we nurse all damn day still..he eats three meals a day and two snack times on top of the nursing. Normally he doesn’t wake up at night but the last week he’s been getting up at 3am and I nurse him for like five minutes and then he sleeps until 6am (he’s teething)

Answer

My little guy nurses at least 6 times a day. Sometimes 8-10 if things are a bit topsy-turvy. This is down a lot since the newborn phase of 12-20 times a day. And he was never into pacifiers, though we offered. 
I think you’re doing fine. If you want to drop the nighttime feed, you can probably delay it a bit each night until your little one is comfortable sleeping all night. (That’s what we did, around 7 minths)Or keep it if it’s working for you.

Answer

8-10 times in 24 h. Gets up 2-3 times  during the night, if teething or a bad fay she can get up hourly. Im fine with that, its normal.

Answer

5 times a day and at least 3 times a night

Answer

My daughter does this 5 minutes nursing session 2-3 times a day in additional to her normal 6x feed.
