EBF after 1

HV said at 12 months they need two feeds a day so one in the morning and before bed. Easier said than done though!

I'm still EBF. I still feed on demand so as and when he wants it. I do work 4 days a week and on those days he won't have milk all day, but feeds before bed and overnight. When I'm with him he will have 1 or 2 feeds in the day time and sometimes none. I will always be following his lead with it☺️

We still EBF, my HV didn’t mention anything about slowing feeds so we still feed on demand. I’m trying to implement don’t offer don’t refuse when baby asks but mostly it’s before all sleeps as well as night wakings and of course after any bump or fall. He doesn’t take milk from a bottle though and goes to nursery so during his nursery days he goes 7 hours without milk 2 days a week, soon to be 4 days a week 🙁

My LO can go all day without a feed when he's in nursery but the days we're home he wants fed when he's tired - works for him, works for me, so not too worried about it! He's a good eater and putting weight on just fine. Formula is different because it's got more calories in and if they have too much they'll not be hungry for food, but breast milk adapts to what baby needs at every stage, so probably not so many calories now but still all the good stuff! If you're happy still feeding on demand, I wouldn't change it.

EBF too and feeding LO on demand. He'll be going nursery soon as I will return to work. HV didn't mention about it but ask about the sleep when it's easier but basically I got the answer of when I reduce feeding at night as it's "mainly comfort". Had to take it with a pinch of salt as i still think he needs it not just for comfort

Also just feeding on demand 😊 I also offer three meals a day and some snacks. X

Thank you all!! Good to hear! Xxx

Feeding on demand ! I have an older one who Bf till 2.5. We do 3 meals and snacks. They naturally slow off as they get older but it was so helpful whenever he was poorly etc. hoping to do the same again 🤞🏻
