Alani has three solids meals a day and since she has increased the amount of solids she eats, she seems to have dropped one milk feed. She will have between half and a whole can of solids each meal and 4 milk feeds. She weighs around 7.5kgs. ]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:46:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=416369&title=how-many-breastfeeds#416369 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : Rowan has 5 routine breastfeeds...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=416177&title=how-many-breastfeeds#416177 Author: Bimble

Rowan has 5 routine breastfeeds a day(don't know quantity) and 3 solids meals a day (after bfs). She's been on solids since 5 mths and weighs approx 8.2kgs. She has about 3-4 icecubes of fruit/cereal for breakfast, 2-3 icecubes of veges or fruit for lunch and 4-6 icecubes of veges and meat for dinner.]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:06:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=416177&title=how-many-breastfeeds#416177 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : Hi, Just follow bubs lead.

Hi,

Just follow bubs lead. Alex is still demand fed and he is having as much milk as he ever was. He is a couple of months older, and just started having a second meal but he is having a minimum of 6 feeds a day and can have as many as 8. He dropped his night feeds nearly 1.5 months ago.

Blair's the same as Keziah, 4 BF's a day (and I know that if he's taking the same as he was 2 weeks ago he takes about 200 - 240ml a feed) and 3 solids. My boy isn't little (10kg) and has been on solids since 4 months and can munch thru approx 7 cubes of food at dinner time and has 4 - 5 fruit with farex at breaky (with toast finger) and the 4 -5 vege cubes at lunch (with cruskit)

Occasionally I've had to do a 5 min feed in the middle of the night but only when I've tried everything else. He went from 6 - 7 (demand) feeds, to 4(routine) with minimal fuss during our week at MCU. ]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 21:07:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400755&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400755 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : Keziah is 7 months and has 4x...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400746&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400746 Author: Neeks

at 6 months Ella was having 4-5 bf a day and by 7 months was having mostly 4 feeds (plus a sneaky night feed).

At 6 months, Eva was having 6 BF's a day. We're down to 5 feeds per day now, as she's dropped a night feed.]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:40:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400649&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400649 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : yup been giving her milk before...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400632&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400632 Author: NovemberMum

just be guided by your baby... Milk is really important so give before food.

Three meals a day is a lot for a 6 month old. Luke was having about 5-7 breast feeds a day/ night and moved onto three meals at about 7.5 - 8 months months but in saying that he has small snacks too.

really depends on your baby and your the best judge of that! ]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 17:53:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400602&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400602 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : I&#039;d be keen to hear people&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400572&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400572 Author: DJ

I'd be keen to hear people's views on this too. Anyssa is still having 5-6 breastfeeds and 2 solids feeds of 3 ice cubes full per day. She hasn't dropped any milk feeds since starting solids, and she is gradually increasing her solids volume per meal.

i dont think there really are any hard and fast rules about this. you need to really be guided by your baby. and remember to give milk before solids...

for instance my 3 mth old only has 4 feeds a day on average, yet others will have much more. ]]> Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:00:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400547&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400547 <![CDATA[how many breastfeeds : should a 6-7 month old baby who...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17799&PID=400530&title=how-many-breastfeeds#400530 Author: NovemberMum
