At 6-8 months he had 1-2 small meals a day. Cereal and puréed food. </p> MrsRcCar on "How long does your older infant (6+ m) go between nursing sessions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-older-infant-6-m-go-between-nursing-sessions#post-2256441 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 11:05:33 +0000 MrsRcCar 2256441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E is 18 months.

His morning nursing session is the longest, 15-20min. The others during the day are 5-10min. He gets solids 3 times a day, an hour or two after nursing (8:30, 1, 5:30) </p> Adira on "How long does your older infant (6+ m) go between nursing sessions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-older-infant-6-m-go-between-nursing-sessions#post-2256321 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 09:48:54 +0000 Adira 2256321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Logan (8 months) goes 2.5-3 hours between nursing. He eats 2-3 "meals" of solids, but they are only 2-4 oz of purees. The weekend usually looks something like:</p> <p>6:00 a.m. - nurse (usually for 10-14 minutes)<br /> 7:30 - solids (2-4 oz)<br /> 9:00 - nurse (8-14 minutes) to sleep<br /> 11:30 - nurse (8-10 minutes)<br /> 12:00 - solids (2-4 oz)<br /> 2:00 - nurse (8-14 minutes) to sleep<br /> 4:30 - nurse (8-10 minutes)<br /> 5:30 - solids (2-4 oz)<br /> 7:30 - nurse (8-14 oz) to sleep </p> LilSprinkles on "How long does your older infant (6+ m) go between nursing sessions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-older-infant-6-m-go-between-nursing-sessions#post-2256237 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 09:00:18 +0000 LilSprinkles 2256237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I remember correctly, my DS nursed every 3 hours (not sure for how long, anywhere from 5-15 minutes) during the day. He slept through the night so his last feeding was at 7/730 and didn't get another one until somewhere around 7am the next morning. He had solids three times a day, but no purees (we did BLW). It worked out that he would eat solids halfway in between each nursing session. I think around 9-10 months his nursing sessions went to 4 hours apart. </p> winniebee on "How long does your older infant (6+ m) go between nursing sessions?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-does-your-older-infant-6-m-go-between-nursing-sessions#post-2256213 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 08:39:09 +0000 winniebee 2256213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your infant and how long do they go between nursing sessions?
