9 months BF - anyone only feeding morn & before bed?

Hey girls, anyone has decreased the feeds to just morning and evening? Has it affect supply? I’ve started my placement last week and I’m not feeding on the demand on days I’m out working but I’m afraid it will dry my milk? Would love some experiences x

I’m still feeding throughout the day. But I imagine if you only feed morning and evening it may make your supply decrease. Could you not try and pump once or twice while you’re at your placement (if they have a space to store it) & then that means who ever if looking after babe while you’re away can give it to them if they take a bottle x

Until very recently I was only BF morning and night and my supply didn't dry up. My period did come back however. I've now stopped BF altogether as LO didn't seem fussed and would happily drink formula from a bottle

aw that’s good to know. I know every body is different but it gives me some hope ❤️x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
