reduced bf during the day whilst weaning?

[bumpiesonamission]

Hi all,

My PFB is six months on Friday and I am proud that I have been able to ebf(after a traumatic birth, giving a dummy and never sleeping through or more than 2 hrs ) I was very determined to achieve ebf. Anyway, we started some tasters first puree and now blw a couple if weeks ago, the past two/three days, he has fed less on me during the day, especially in the morning. He isn't really having much in the way of solids either but is feeding a lot (not new) at night.

Is this right? is he going off my boobs?? sad sad I am feeling low anyway (must go to the gp!) and he has started biting my nipples (got two bottom teeth). I am just so worried he is not going to want my boobs.

Any advice or do I need to just hide under my rock?

Babies do cut down on feeds when weaning, though it's normally a good bit into weaning when they properly ramp up on solids (for both of mine it was around 8/9 months). It may be more that he's more distractible during the day (hence the continued lots of night feeding) and/or is teething. You could try feeding him in a quiet/dark room?

I'll try that, he does feed well at night when its dark
