Breast feeding older babies

[Sarah13]

How often do they feed now? I've always fed on demand but this now really only seems to be morning and through the night and sometimes an afternoon feed. Is this about right for a 10 month old?

i didnt just wanna read and run harry is 5 months nearly and he had a feed after his porridge on a morning sometimes one on a dinner time after he's had his lunch and if he's feeling sorry for himself on an after noon he can 2-3 feeds including tea time and then 2 for bedtime just keep doing what your doing he'll reduce it when he wants less xx

Anton has morning feed, in the afternoon i.give him formula(around 2-2:30pm) and then he.has a feed/morr formula before bed and at night (he still wants to feed at night at 11 months!)

Owen was on just one morning and one evening feed from about 10 months. He's now on the boob constantly at 15 months but I'm hoping it's just a phase!

Thanks, you just wonder if they get enough but I guess I need to trust him like I have been for the last 10 months that he's getting what he needs. Its strange how they need so much more when they are tiny as he don't eat that much yet or really drink much water. He doesn't stop moving so I guess he has enough energy!

harry wont drink water either he may take baby juice very occassionally if i dilute it down but he prefers mommy milk and i have no objection to that! lol
