I don't think you need to worry about supply at this point. IF you miss/delay a feed every once in awhile it shouldn't cause any supply issues :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1287808 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 21:52:22 +0000 AprilFool 1287808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I think at this stage your supply is established.You should be right. Sometimes we feed all over the place and I don't pump if I miss a feed anymore and have noticed no difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285690 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:18:58 +0000 sslm 1285690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's such a wide range, which I guess shouldn't surprise me!!! </p> <p>I've just been so obsessed with maintaining supply, but at this point, I probably don't need to be too worried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285687 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 08:17:19 +0000 Beyond2 1285687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 times in 24 hours with 2 solid meals </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285650 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 07:47:18 +0000 JerricaBenton 1285650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 8 months, 8 times a day, solid meal in the evening.

She was feeding 7, 11, 2, 5:30, 6:30 (bed time) and then one MOTN. With solids at 8 and 4:30. I have just dropped the 5:30 and added in a 3rd solids meal of bread and avo (so nothing substantial and only because she gets jealous if I am eating). So far it seems to be going ok and she isn't bothered or waking up more than usual.</p> <p>If you just want to see how she goes at first I would try and push that 9 am feed back a little and see what happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285547 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 00:14:35 +0000 ALV91711 1285547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-8 times in 24 hours plus 3 meals of solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285545 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 00:12:28 +0000 dolphin 1285545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5x during the day and sometimes 6 if she wakes up MOTN </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285544 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 00:11:34 +0000 immabeetoo 1285544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did 4x a day 1x a night for a long time... definitely at 8 months. He did two meals of solids then, and then shortly after STTN and added a third meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285478 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 22:51:37 +0000 Kemma 1285478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A has always been a frequent nurser and was still having 6-10 feeds in 24 hours at eight months but she could go 3-4 hours between feeds if we were out and about. If I remember correctly A also dropped her lunchtime feed at about 7-8 months and would feed before her first nap at 10ish, have solids for lunch and then not nurse again till her second nap at 3ish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285471 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 22:44:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1285471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we nursed 5x-- at wakeup, 3 times during the day, and bedtime.</p> <p>it dropped to 2 daytime sessions at around 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285410 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:49:56 +0000 Adira 1285410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 8 months, Xander usually ate 4-5 times a day. He could usually go 3-4 hours between feeds and really depending on how long his naps were! He also ate 1-2 meals of solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285406 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:43:08 +0000 Silva 1285406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm..I have no idea. A lot. But she can go 4 hours between if we are busy. I try to feed every 2-3 hours during the day because if I don't she is up even more than usual at night.<br /> She doesn't nurse well in public unless she is super hungry. Do you drive? She will nurse well in the car, so sometimes if I can't get a quiet,private spot while we are out I sit in the car. A little harder now that it's cold, though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-nursing-sessions-at-8-months#post-1285401 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 21:39:15 +0000 sslm 1285401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, if she sleeps through the night, M gets 6 sessions. Obviously if she wakes up through the night it can be more. She typically nurses at 7, 9, 12, 2, 5, and 7. </p> <p>She eats solid food around 8, and 5:45. </p> <p>I'm wondering when I'll be able to drop a session, she sucks at NIP so I'd love to be able to be out for more than 2 or 3 hours!!! Haha</p> <p>How many times per day does/did your 8 month old nurse? </p>
