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??? ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

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 |
