But w the twins, I waited until like three days before they turned six months, since they say to do it at six months. My son doesn't have teeth tho, so I may wait a bit before I let him try and gnaw anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071377 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 08:43:10 +0000 jmarionsmith 2071377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD turns 6 months on 3/3 and she nurses a bazillion times a day. She is also doing the multiple wake ups at night but we've just swaddle and rnp weaned so she's going through a lot of changes right now. Once midnight hits she comes to bed with me and nurses off and on all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071370 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 08:35:53 +0000 LBee 2071370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He nurses twice during the day (6 am and 6:30 pm) and takes three 6 oz expressed milk bottles at 9 am, 12 pm, and 3 pm. </p> <p>He eats about 3 ice cubes of solids after his 6:30 pm, but it definitely doesn't impact how much he eats or his sleep. We make his purees with breastmilk, though, to get more milk into him. </p> <p>On total we estimate he eats 30 ozs of breastmilk a day. Do you have any idea her grand total? </p> <p>Every hour sounds brutal! Sending sleepy thoughts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071330 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 07:48:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2071330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: on daycare days she gets (4) 3oz bottles then nurses 3-4x on top of that, not counting MOTN wakeups. I don't think not eating enough is the problem. She's a chunker and had 2ish months where she would sleep for 6hrs before waking up to feed. I'm OK with her not sleeping through the night. The 45-60m wakeups are what's killing me!</p> <p>@tequiero21: 8/27, what's his? ☺I'm waiting till she can sit up well unassisted before we start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071251 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 00:52:27 +0000 tequiero21 2071251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like my son is only two days younger! I've been nursing him around 5-6x a day. I've fed him some rice cereal and apple sauce but that's it. Need to start other food. Not sure I'll go the blw route, which is what I did for my twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071184 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 22:30:34 +0000 JennyPenny 2071184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6 month old nurses 4 times during the day and gets two 7 oz bottles of expressed milk at daycare. Were doing BLW so not much solid intake yet. We used to do a 5oz dreamfeed around midnight but have slowly weaned from it, and just increased his daytime bottles so now he goes from 7pm-6am without eating.</p> <p>How much do you feed during the day? Maybe more during the day will help her go longer at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-is-your-6m-nursing#post-2071052 Sun, 15 Feb 2015 21:05:28 +0000 regberadaisy 2071052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is s/he on solids yet? How about at night?</p> <p>DD2 will be 6m on the 27th and last couple nights she has been waking up every 45-60m. Just before that things were getting better again and she was even going 4-5 hrs for her first stretch. But then at 6m there is a growth spurt so she can be hitting that early. </p> <p>Tonight she has already woken up 4x since 7:30!! </p>
