His really good sessions are all at night, though, before bed and when he wakes up in the early early AM. He's really distracted during the day and snacks more than eats, I think. littleveesmommy on "How often does your LO nurse?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-lo-nurse#post-719918 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:31:32 +0000 littleveesmommy 719918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 14 months old and nurses 2-3 times a day (morning, bedtime, and occasional night waking when she's teething).

I didn't really plan on her dropping to this schedule until after a year, but she kind of did it herself. A little after a year I'm going to go to just nursing in the mornings and maybe at night. I might keep pumping, but we'll just have to see.

That makes me feel better! A lot of people seem shocked when I tell them M is still nursing so much. Are you attempting to wean at all? I had always planned on starting to wean the daytime feedings and keep the morning and bedtime sessions, but now that it's time, I don't want to give them up yet. :( tororojo on "How often does your LO nurse?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-lo-nurse#post-719752 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:37:56 +0000 tororojo 719752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 6 weeks old, 6-8 times a day.
