Hi ladies
My DS is 8.5mths old and I've breastfed him from day 1
I have 2 questions....
At the moment he's down to 3 feeds a day. I back to work in Jan. He'll happily take milk/drink for a bottle & beaker. However I noticed that whether he has 3 feeds or say 5 feeds a day...or even go from 7-7...i never really feel 'engorged'.....am i slowing down...and with that in mind....my next question...
Last night he woke up lots every couple of hrs....not really like him....he is poorly....teething and bad cold...normally we'd settle him with either water, hugs etc or capol....but last night nothing worked only boob...thinking he'd just comfort suck for a bit i offered it to him....he took a full feed twice...at 11pm and 4am....i haven't had to do that for months!....do babies have a growth spurt at this age?...or is it because that perhaps my milk supply is slowing up and he's just not getting the quantity he wants
Many thanks
