[Charly's mum]

Have a question for those still BF, do you BF during the night. Just wondering as in my Mothers Group when I mention it they are always saying she shouldn't need to feed during the night. Although they are all now FF and eating solids very well, they eat probably 10 times as much as Charly does in solids.

Honestly I would prefer Charly to have BF at this stage as that where the nutrients are. This week she is going really well with the solid, she just likes small potions thoughout the day. It is just annoying me a bit that they seem to thinking they know what is right.

Thanks for the warm welcome girls!

Zara's routine atm is OK. We are still breastfeeding as well, as she still as no teeth. But AF is back for me, no idea why as she still feeds at least once overnight. Oh well.
Her routine goes something like this

6am Breastfeed - back to sleep
8am Awake
9am Solids
12-1 Sleep
2pm Solids
230 Breastfeed
230-330 Sleep
5pm Solids
7pm Breastfeed and bedtime.
1130pm Breastfeed (wakes on her own for this one)
Usually 4am Breastfeed
6am Breastfeed

So she isnt a great sleeper at all. But i have basically written off the next 6yrs or so of sleep, hahahaha.

As for TTC, in 2yrs we will start. I want some time to enjoy my little zee and plus we wont be in a bigger house until then!

Hope u r all well. Speak to u soon! xx

Up to 9mths it is still considered normal to BF overnight. Zee still is up at night for her (.)(.) fix. hehe. Everyone has an opinion dont they!!

we are still BF over night, usually twice but sometimes more if i cant get him to settle any other way..

a question for you, how much solids are you feeding your bubs, i cant seem to work it out...

he is a nice solid little fellow, so am not worried, well only that he is over eating.. but more weight to burn off when he starts crawling..
