POLL: breastfeeding frequency at 12 months

elizabeth emerald wrote in message ...
seeing as DS is coming up to this age shortly, i thought i'd ask:

how many times a day was your baby breastfeeding at 12 months?

how many times at night?

and how much solids were they eating/how many meals & snacks?

anything else you want to say about reaching 12 months?

At 12 months Jessica was nursing about 5-6 times a day, but pretty quickly
thereafter dropped to about 4 times. If she did nurse at night at that
point, it was only once.

Since our little angels are roughly the same age, I'll chime in with DD's
usual feeds ...

how many times a day was your baby breastfeeding at 12 months?
how many times at night?

Hmmm 4-5am, 7am, 9am, 11 am, 1pm, 4pm, 6 pm, 8:30 pm .... usually but
sometimes she swaps the 4am feed for a 9:30 pm one.... so I guess that's
about 7 during the "day" amd once at "night". Last week at our clinic visit
the LC asked me how often I nursed her and I answered "whenever she wants
it", to which she answered "correct!"

and how much solids were they eating/how many meals & snacks?

She also gets cereal and fruit for brekkie, veges and fruit for lunch and
also some yoghurt, and meat and veges and fruit and yoghurt (2nd half of a
tub) for dinner. Snacks are Mummy's Milk.

anything else you want to say about reaching 12 months?

Happy Happy Birthday ... and congratulatory pat-on-back to you for
nursing him to this milestone
