Almost 12 months- I think he's dropping feeds during the day....

So it's obviously my first time, and I'm just wondering...

Is this the beginning of the end? DS currently feeds when he wakes up at 6.30am (voraciously) and I offer after every nap, but he's just not interested, there are better things to do apparently!!! He eats a lot, and we always have a water bottle for him to play with, so I'm not worried that he isn't getting enough food or liquid. I always offer milk first. DS then has a big feed before bed @ 6.30ish and another about 10pm.

So- in short, when he does feed, he guzzles like a man dying of thirst, but just isn't interested during the day. Is it the beginning of the end? Is this how weaning happens? Or is it just a case of busy boy, no time for boobies during the day?

My DS was feeding once a day (in the early hours of the morning) for a long time before I weaned him at 33 mnths. I do think it's a case of busy boy and you may find if he goes through a developmental leap or as he is getting sick that he may feed more often and then cut back.

At about this age I did the don't offer, don't refuse 'thing' and I think if you are following thier lead there isn't much else you can do. :clap: well done on following your instincts :D

thanks kelebek- good tip with the 'don't offer don't refuse'. I think that's a good way to go xxx

the main thing I got use to was just as I thought we had a 'routine' when it came to feeding it would always change, even if it was just for a few days. Things like getting new teeth, sickness, etc... all would throw everything out the window. It was a very good way to learn to trust myself cause at the end of the day he was still happy and growing well :D
