This is just a quick question but it has me a bit curious. We went to our baby health clinic the other week and I have been pondering this ever since. DD is 5 months old and has 6 BFs in a 24 hour period, I have had to encourage her to have the 6th as she only ever had 5. She isnt demand fed because she rarely demands, I thinks she would only have 2 or 3 feeds some days if I let her , so I just feed her at similar times each day. At one feed she will drain both sides then the next feed she just waits for the let down and off she comes. Anyway with out rambling anymore, the nurse informs me she 'should' really only be having 5 feeds a day and once we start solids really only 4....I was certain that many women were breastfeeding 12 times a day, babes much older than mine....so is this acurate or has she got her wires crossed with FF babies? Weight, growth, contentment, development and wet/ dirty nappies are all 'normal'.

Thanks heaps for anything you can tell me.
