Dropping milk feeds
Due to go back to work in feb - baby is 8 and a half months old. When is it safe to start dropping breast feeds. She has 3 meals a day and currently 3 nursing sessions a day 10, 2:30 and 7. She has always refused a bottle but obviously need to drop the feeds. Is it safe to do so? Worried baby won’t be getting enough!

@Alice Thankyou how old is your little one ?
At 8.5 months it’s fine to just offer food and water and bf when together. If you want to drop a feed you need to replace it with formula.
She is 8.5 months now or will be in February? Are you still allowing feeds overnight? If you restrict in the day they can reverse cycle and drink more in the night. I wouldn’t try drop any more at 8.5 months just feed on demand when your with her not on a schedule.. before before and after daycare and in the night if they want it till atleast 12-18 months or transition to other milk

Could you express and offer your milk in a cup?
