Dear all bf moms,
Is it too many times? How to reduce to 5 or 6? How many meals do your bbs have when they are 2 mths old? I have been solely breastfeeding my bb since he came home from hospital.

Dear all bf moms,

My son is 5 months old now and I've exclusively breastfed him since day 1. When he was 2 months old, he had 7-8 feeds a day. He changed to 6 meals a day when he was just a bit over 3 months. He gave me the clue to change by feeding for very short time only during each feed, so I figured out he was not hungry and changed him from 3 hours to 3.5 hours (then 4 hours). Now he has 5 meals a day only as he started sleeping through the night about 2 weeks ago.

Thx all for your reply
b_mama,
When you make him 3.5 hours or 4 hours, how long do you nurse each time? As long as before? I have been nursing 30 min & 1 breast each time. ...
My BB feeding time varies a fair bit. I always feed him both sides. Sometimes it's 5 mins each side, but other times it could be 20 mins each side. I think it depends if he's hungry or not, also whether he's sleepy. I find that when he's tired, he closes his eyes and sucks for longer because he pauses in between.
Hi, CreamBlue,
Like you, I also used to think my bb must have enough milk. To my surprise, he had only 0.55kg weight gain over a month. :-( Why? What should I do?
