I just realised that at some point I stopped 'demand' feeding and was just feeding out of my own habits. Once I started looking for actual 'I'm HUNGRY for boob' signs, feeds spread out a bit and the mid morning was dropped :)
Of course she likes a mid morning feed when I least expect it so I can't leave her without expressing just incase.]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:43:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=752538&title=dropping-breastfeeds#752538 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=752146&title=dropping-breastfeeds#752146 Author: _SMS_

Mine is pretty much exactly the same as yours Taylahsmummy. Except without the 10pm feed.
She now has a BF after lunch/dinner too.
She *just* started dropping/forgetting about the 10/11am BF. Some days are different though. I haven't replaced it with water/juice. She eats a lot more lunch and drinks lots of water with it.]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:16:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751774&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751774 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751084&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751084 Author: FreeSpirit

I found that there was no "dropping breastfeeds" as such, as she ate more she wasn't as hungry so would have shorter BF, then when I found the perfect cup for her to drink water from she drank more water and BF less often.]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:39:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751084&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751084 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751069&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751069 Author: cuppatea

Kyle goes roughly like this

6am BF
8am BF
10am BF
1pm BF
4pm BF
6pm BF
10pm BF (sometimes sleeps through this one)
3am BF

Solids. hahaha, whenever i can try to get him to, he doesn't like his high chair or eating off a spoon.

He sometimes doesn't have all those day ones, sometimes randomly he goes 4 hours between feeds.
I will just let him drop them, he will do so when solids get going a bit better, plus I'm not gonna drop any day ones till he stops the night ones.

Spencer was bottle fed so a little different but he had 5 feeds between 7am and 7pm and he didn't start dropping those till he went to solids first and then he started sleeping through when he would have had the mid morning one and then a little while later he started having a snack so that kind of replaced it. Water I just offered with food and he still doesn't have juice, only water, and a cup of formula first thing.

I offer Kyle water every time I offer food but I wouldn't offer it in place of milk.]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 21:29:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751069&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751069 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28191&PID=751060&title=dropping-breastfeeds#751060 Author: _SMS_
