Lately my DS has really started to drop BFs and I'm not entirely sure if it's normal or not.
At about 8 months we moved his midmorning bottle of EBM back to midday as he wasn't showing interest in it anymore so his routine went as follows:
4am - breastfeed and back to bed
6.30 - sometimes a small top up BF
7.00 - breakfast
9/10 - snack and nap
11.30 - lunch
12.30 - bottle of EBM
1.30 - nap
3.00 - BF and snack
5.30 - dinner
6.30 - bath, small BF, story, brush teeth
7.00 - bed
NOW, it's like he wants nothing to do with boobs or bottles. We think his top teeth are working on coming through so it could be a nursing strike but I'm not sure. Here's his routine now:
2am - BF
6.30 - small BF
7.00 - breakfast
9/10 - snack and nap
11.30 - lunch
(not interested in bottle or boob feed)
1.30 - nap
3.30 - small BF
5.30 - dinner
6.30 - bath, story, brush teeth (NOT interested in bottle or boob feed)
7.00 - bed
So, basically he's feeding in the wee hours and then is not really that interested in have anymore milk until around 3/4 in the afternoon and then that's it until his breastfeed in the middle of the night. It just seems wrong - Any ideas???
Hmmm...not sure. I have a baby the same age. I stopped night feeding about 10 days ago and since then she's more interested in Morning feeds. sometimes she wakes at 3am ish and makes noises for a while but goes back sleep.
i do still dreamfeed at 9.45 ish though. I give breakfast of solids first and bf an hour later. routine is
;
6.15 awake
6.45 cereal
8 bf
9.15 nap
11 am lunch
12.30 bf
1.45 nap
2.30 snack
4pm bf
5pm dinner
6.30 bf
7pm asleep
9.45 dream feed - plan to drop in month or so
