For the past 2 days i have forgotten to give jack his afternoon milk feed so now he is getting 3 morning, lunch and before bed. He has 3 meals and lots of snacks and didn't even seem to notice it was gone.
Is he getting enough milk or should I add the other back in? He is nearly 9 months |

Sounds pretty good to me, I weaned my girls at around 11 mos and at that stage you can just give them a cup of milk with breakfast (although I have never given them milk every day after weaning). How long were you hoping to feed him for? -------------  |

| I have no plans for weaning I'll just let him lead. Thanz for your replies I can't find anywhere that says about how many feeds at each age. |

just looked in gabriels baby book and at 8 months he went to 3 breastfeeds and 3 solid feeds...and he chose to stop breastfeeding at about 14 months...but by that stage he was only on one a day anyway. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

i sometimes wish mikey didn't love his milk feeds so much, he's 10 months old now and he's still having a milk feed before every sleep and when he wakes up in the night (which is naughty, i know). i think it's fine that jack doesn't have that feed though if it seems like he doesn't mind, it's great that it's going so smoothly for you ------------- |

HAnnah was on much the same Rach. The doctor said she should be having around 600ml milk a day, which I know is really hard to gauge when you're breastfeeding, but Hannah is having around that a day with 3 botles now... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
