DS is still feeding 2 hourly pretty much around the clock. he also feeds to sleep most of the time so that often means a couple of extra feeds during the day for his naps. he was in the 97th percentile for weight & 90th for length at his 4mo check up so i guess i've always put the frequent feeding down to his size. but now i'm wondering whether i'm overfeeding him? he's demand fed & most of the time i offer a feed - he just never seems to say no!

he's never wanted a dummy so i think some of the feeding might be comfort-related but he does genuinely seem hungry/thirsty most of the time. he's started on some solids in the last month but that hasn't impacted on his feeds at all (we're doing a mix of BLS & some purees so i guess he's not getting heaps of calories from the food just yet).

i guess my question is - am i doing the right thing? is it 'normal' (for want of a better term) for a 6mo to still be feeding so frequently? i don't plan to stop bfing, i guess i was just hoping that i'd be getting more than 1.5 hours of sleep at a time by now!
