    how often is your 1 year old breastfeeding?

    Hi,
    How often are your 1 year olds breastfeeding?
    My DD is still having 4 per day and unlimited feeds through the night (we co-sleep)
    Just curious what others are doing? Thanks for sharing!

    Hi
    My DS has just cut back to 1 feed during the night at about 5am. Unless he's sick, then it'll be every hour or 2.
    During the day it differs. Some days its every 2 - 3 hours others its only for his 2 sleeps.
    It all depends on the day.

    We cut out overnight feeds at around 10 months I think and DD had about 4-5 bf a day at that stage.

    At around the 12month mark we went down to 3 a day on average, with the occasional extra 'snack' snuck in every now and again. At 15 months this seems to have held pretty steady for us.

    It does increase if DD is sick or teething, both overnight and during the day and I am pretty happy with that.

    At 12 mths DD was having at least 4 bfs a day and then maybe one overnight (but not many, she slept solidly until about 16 mths when she started waking 2-3 times for a bf).

    But she was a greedy eater when it came to solids by that age - especially at breakfast time!

    DS was having 3-4 a day, no night feeds since about 10 months when he started sleeping through.

    He is now 16 months and only having 2 but this has been dictated by my supply since falling prg.

    Around 3-4 a day and twice over night at 12 months.
    Now at 15 months, it's morning and night and probably 2 overnight, I could do without the overnight feeds, oh well, one day!
