Just wondering ahead....
how much does/did your bf baby have at 12mths? How much (ml) do they need?
i had ds1 on formula by 1 year, but looks like i might still be feeding DS2 for a while.
He is on demand feeding.
Hoping i can wear some dresses in summertime, but i guess that will only happen if he is down to a feed in morning ?
At one, DS was having a morning and evening feed, he dropped the evening feed fairly quickly and was just having huge morning feeds only. He self-weaned a couple of weeks ago at 14 months as I guess my supply has really dropped with me being pregnant.
oooooooooo so glad you asked this question - cos I havent BF this far before with my other two and DS#2 doesnt look like stopping anytime soon (refuses bottle - but I'm over that ) - he has around 4 at the moment, so was wondering when to drop to 3ish - about now I think he is trying. ....
As at any age, brastfeeding works really well when baby sets the pace. They will let you know what they want. If a baby is feeding on demand - no need to worry, they will get everything they need. Good on you for feeding so long and so well.
I think this summer you will be able to wear some dresses - there are some nice ones with pluging necklines that you can just pop out a boo (over the top - I think that looks so cool) And, at this age you can explain that mummy can't feed now - they can wait a little.
My DS is one in a few weeks and has 3-4 feeds a day and up to 4 at night. Depends on the day though. Some days he goes with only 4 feeds some days it's 7-8.
My DS was still having 7-8 at 12 months
At this age though you can just delay while you're out and feed at home - they should be able to manage on other food & drinks in teh meantime. Actually, DS was generally happy from around 11 months to go without when we were out cause he was too busy doing other things.
