I'm trying to work out whether I need to be offering my 9 month old milk with solids or whether he'd be okay with just the bfs overnight. This is what a typicalish day might look like:
7am solids
8.30 bf
11.00 solids
12.30 solids
4.30pm solids
6.30pm bf
10.30pm bf
2.30am bf
He clearly wants a drink with his solids but he seems just as happy with water as with milk. Would 4 bfs in 24 hrs be enough? What if he (please, please, soon!) drops the middle of the night feed so is down to 3? He doesn't eat huge amounts at any solids meal but am pretty confident he's eating as much as he wants. I'm trying not to bf between 9 and 5.30 cos I'm going back to work in a couple of weeks, but he's usually happy with EBM or formula in a cup. He's only been eating this much solids and having this few bfs for about 3 weeks, so I'm still feeling my way. Any opinions or experiences gratefully received!
