OK got a bit of a BF dilemma. I should probably put this on the main forum, but I'm a bit shy....
Darcy has 3 feeds a day, early mroning, lunchish and before bed. The morning one's really good, but for the other 2 she's like the acrobat child and off on off on. I'm really worried I'm not making enough milk for her, as when I leave EBM when I work, she gulps it down and then sleeps all night. She's still eager. As soon as I undo the clasp on my bra she's all excited, so I don't think she's rejecting me. I get less and less out when I pump too. I'm worried I might have to stop feeding her. I really don't want to go to formula only 6 weeks before she turns 1 though.
Here's my questions...
1. How many feeds should she be having (My MCHN wasn't there this week to ask)?
2. If I drop one will my milk supply drop off altogether?
3. Would it be OK to just give her a bottle of milk at night?
4. At what age do they no longer need a bottle before bed?
5. At what age to they no longer need feeds as well as food?
Might post this on the bf forum as well......
Sorry for all the questions, but I trust you guys.
