    Hi Holly

    This is what Darcie does....but it changes every day, I'm not really in much of a 'routine'.....

    wakes up EARLY (this morning 4:50am) I would have tried to boob her to go back to sleep that early, but she's not really interested...is more interested in flailing around the bed like a fish out of water
    No food...then a nap about 1.5 hours after she wakes (right now!)
    Wakes up has breakfast....fruit and yoghurt with maybe some cereal mixed in, plays around for a while then will have a BF then go to sleep for another nap
    Wakes up again....plays around, then when Max is having lunch, she will have something too, like Doodlebug, we are doing a mixture of BLS and puree...today she'll have risotto!
    Another nap...if I'm lucky or driving!
    Then another meal about 4:30-5pm, then it's bath, BF and bed....

    Oh and in amongst that she will have water from her cup and a snack if she wants it....usually a rusk...I think she's starting to teethe too

    She tells you what she wants when she wants it.....we are out and about a lot in this limbo state, so nothing is set in stone around here....so I guess she'd have maybe 3 BF during the day, 3 solid meals, then will be BF during the night once or twice....she is in bed with me so I just roll over and there ya go! I'm half asleep when I'm feeding her so TBH I don't keep count!

    It varies a great deal. DS was having 10+ at that age - he didn't drop any feeds till 11 months

    At that age DD1 was about 4 feeds a day with 3 solids, DD2 was about 6-7 feeds and only about 1 proper meal with maybe a tiny snack.

    Lady P is 10 months and has roughly about 4-5 booby feeds a day. She is sleeping through so no feeding over night and has 3 meals a day and snacks too but loves her booby.
    This isnt set in stone of course and somedays its more some days its less.
