Sometimes way more depending if he's hurt himself, teething etc. We also co sleep so he'll nurse anywhere from 1-4 times per night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676863 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:43:53 +0000 Dagny 1676863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 14 months and still nurses several times a day.

Having said that, she's never been overly obsessed with the boob and she eats a ton of solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676491 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:32:51 +0000 Silva 1676491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 months. A low day is once in the morning, before each nap, before bed, and once over night- so 4 times. When she is teething, not feeling well, or otherwise "off", it is more- I think today it was 6 or 7 times, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676483 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:31:04 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1676483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: thanks but I didn't plan it that way... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676455 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:19:26 +0000 californiadreams 1676455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my almost 18m old nurse twice a day. sometimes once. but my going back to work full time at 12m facilitated that. before 12m, he was at 3 - 4 times a day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676448 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 19:15:33 +0000 artsyfartsy 1676448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: Wow!

Work days is 3ish (with an hour or so of nursing/snuggling/winnie the pooh watching in bed before she goes into her room for the night). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676393 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 18:46:39 +0000 Corduroy 1676393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO attends daycare fulltime and drinks cows milk there.

My almost 3 year old nurses 1-2 times a day. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676224 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:50:42 +0000 Applesandbananas 1676224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It varies! He's 14m and won't refuse if I offer. </p> <p>On a typical weekend day, he nurses upon wake up (snooze button!!) before his morning nap, before his afternoon nap, at least one random quick session, nurses to sleep, then 1-3x during the night (we bed share). This is ever evolving though and somedays, he nurses forever and sometimes he's super quick. </p> <p>On a typical weekday he nurses upon wake up, when I pick him up from daycare, before bed, and 1-3x per night. I don't pump at work anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676205 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:42:06 +0000 Revel 1676205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at about 6 times a day at one year. I'm stopping pumping at work so I'm curious to see if that affects her daytime nursing on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1676048 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:39:14 +0000 Kemma 1676048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alexis is almost twenty months and still nurses 4-6 times a day - morning, before her nap, at around 1700, before bed and once or twice overnight. She occasionally throws in an extra morning session but she will also go seven hours between "drinks" if we're out and about.</p> <p>At twelve months A was still nursing every 2-3 hours and she is definitely a booby baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1675965 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 15:14:16 +0000 Arden 1675965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let me think... today we've nursed three times, it's 4 PM. We'll likely nurse for an afternoon nap in a little while, and then once in the evening, and then nursing to sleep. </p> <p>So barring her falling and getting hurt or something freaking her out, probably six times a day? She nurses throughout the night on and off as well, we cosleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1675895 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:50:23 +0000 JerricaBenton 1675895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 months old and we usually nurse 6 times a day. Sometimes more, never less lol :-) We recently dropped from never less than 7 times and it feels so freeing! Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/extended-nursers-on-deman-how-much-nursing-to-expect-per-day#post-1675764 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 14:19:42 +0000 Rockies11 1675764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 11 month old is fed on demand and still nurses many, many times a day. She's always been a huge nurser, and while it has slowed down a bit, it's really not slowed down that much. I want to keep nursing her on demand until she self weans, so we could be looking at a long nursing future ahead of us. About how many times per day do your extended nursers nurse and at what age? </p>
