Breastfeeding 8+ monthers

How mean breastfeeds per day is your 7/8/9 monther having?

My little boy has 3 solid meals a day and will have approx 4 - 5 breastfeeds per day. The first feed of the day is always guzzled down, but the others seem to be just short snacky feeds. I know plunket recommends baby has 600ml of breastmilk a day at this age but how can you tell if you are breastfeeding?

I'm not so much worried.. just curious as to what other babies are doing! Thanks

When Lilly was 8-9 months she was having 4-5 feeds a day. They were not big feeds, but she was still happy and healthy.

Keep up the good work dylans_mummy

normally 4 feeds through out the day and depending if he wakes up or not sometimes 1 at night. Morning and night feeds are long good ones, day ones are quite short with lots of pulling off and looking around etc...

I was wondering this the other day aswell so thanks for asking lol!
Rory has 4 it's generally at 6, 10, 2 and one just before bed the morning and just before bed feeds are good ones about 5-10mins each side the other 2 are probably 5 mins all up he eats 3 big solid meals a day aswell.

Im exactly the same as noodle! - except the first one is around 7 - i have read that apparently the first one to go would be that mid morning one - give water/juice instead - anyone else heard this?

Spencer was bottle fed so a bit different but he dropped the mid morning one first purely cos he started sleeping through it, I didn't replace it with anything, but as he got older and slept less then he started having a snack around 10ish instead.
I wouldn't replace a milk feed with juice personally, not sure I would try to replace it with water either.
