DS is 20 months now and we've been down to just one BF a day for the last month or so, when he wakes up in the morning. Because he's such an early riser (5.30am is a sleep in these days) I kinda like having this feed cos I can bring him into bed with us and get an extra 20 mins or so before I have to get up and start the day...
Anyway, for the last week or so he's been having quite a short suck (2 or 3 mins) and then stopping and saying 'more'. We go to the other side and then sure enough after a couple of minutes it's 'more?'. Also, he doesn't seem to be swallowing much while he sucks. Up until recently he would happily suck away for quite awhile, I think more for comfort than anything else, but then who really knows...
So, I'm starting to think that maybe my milk is drying up now that we're down to just the one feed a day. I had always thought that it was a bit a of a myth and it wouldn't disappear till we weaned all together...
I hadn't really been planning on dropping this feed anytime soon and aren't really very keen to reintroduce another one to get my supply back up... So I guess I'm wondering if we should just drop the feed all together to save him a bit of frustration, or keep perservering and just see what happens....
