I got AF back properly around 7 months and we are still feeding day and night about 12 times. I think 'normal' is different for everyone, unless it's a problem for you it's not a problem.

On hot days, especially if we are out driving, my LO is getting dehydrated and it's affecting her poos. I offer her water lots as well as BFs. She loves drinking water but a lot gets dribbled. SHe feeds lots but does get distracted when we are out. And it is usually an hour in the car for me cos i live in the bush. I think i just have to be conscious of offering drinks at every opportunity. She has a sippy cup in the car and usually a wet face washer to suck on.

Feeding to sleep is not working as well as it used to, so working on other methods as well. Hoping i can get something to work soon. I am thinking about working for 1 or 2 days, so it would be good if there were methods other people could use to help settle her.
