DS is almost 11 months & is having 3 feeds a day (morning, 2-ish, bedtime). We got to this point by cutting down feeds during the day as he seemed less interested in them (very distracted, feeding for less time, not finishing the boobs off etc).
Anyway, this morning I was drying us off after a shower & he suddenly latched on - which he has never done before (although he is much more mobile now that he is crawling & cruising!). It made me wonder, for those of you who demand feed, how do your bubs let you know what they want?
Lol Ds will always just latch on when we have had a shower!
I must say i dont like how he lets me know but at least i know. He just pulls at my shirt or puts his hand down my top We have demand fed from the begining, but i dont offer anymore i just let him decide when he wants it. Hope this makes sense? Good luck xx
Olivia demand feeds.. she has quite a few in the morning then a nap.. After that she seems to just pop on for a few drinks.. big feeds are 3-4 times a day but many others are short and seem to be just for a drink
She cries alot lol.. but she comes up for cuddles and then puts her head down so I offer her a feed. she has had 3 feeds this morning already and one was to go to sleep..
My DS (8 months) has a hungry yell that sounds like a very odd chicken. He also starts latching on to whatever is nearby (my elbow, DH's chest, his teddy)...
He he, every time I have a shower with DD I expect her to latch on but she never has! She has just recently started to let me know she wants a feed by pulling my top out and trying to stick her head down there!!
