I didn't feel like 5 was a lot, but everyone seemed shocked every time I told them. One of them was even a mom of 4 young children. Thanks for the reassurance. (and sorry for the late response!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-512328 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:52:41 +0000 brownie 512328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was worried when I was doing 5 at a little over a year. Now at almost 2 years he still does 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-512258 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:58:38 +0000 skibobrown 512258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... well we bottle feed. DD is 9.5 months, and I haven't dropped any of her feedings. I still feed her a bottle every 3 hours during the day, for 5 feedings in total. She doesn't eat much during some of those feedings... especially when she has just consumed a whole bunch of solid food, but I always offer the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-512248 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:52:04 +0000 pinkcupcake 512248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also nurse on demand, and like @sarac: my LO is a snacker. We can nurse up to 10 times a day; average is about 6 or 7. She's gonna be 11 months old in a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-512234 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:41:12 +0000 junebugmama 512234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse on demand. He probably nurses 10 times per day for nutrition and another 5 times a day for comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511938 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:43:07 +0000 sarac 511938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a nurser on demand, and my girl is a snacker, so we've always been more like 6-15 times a day. 5 is absolutely normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511872 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:31:38 +0000 winniebee 511872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months</p> <p>Five 5 oz bottles during the day - usually none overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511828 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:24:01 +0000 cvbee 511828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>exactly what RUNSYELLOWLITES said for us too (9 months too)....it all depends on how many night wakings (we usually have at least 2 nightwakings). We do wake up, first nap, 2nd nap, bedtime, and then nightwakings. </p> <p>My friend with a 1 year old does 3 during the day plus 'however many nightwakings'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511811 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:20:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 511811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P is 9 months and we still nurse anywhere from 6-10 times in a 24 hour period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511795 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:18:21 +0000 red_seattle 511795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toddler X nursed 8x a day until around 9 months, and he dropped to 5x a day a few weeks later, and then a few weeks after that he dropped to 2-4 for the last couple of months of nursing. 5x a day is a lot, but I was there at that point :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511717 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:02:22 +0000 chopsuey 511717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed my DD every 3 hours (during the day) until she was a year old? She wasn't big on solids until she was 14-15 months old or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/older-infant-how-many-feedings-a-day#post-511692 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:58:24 +0000 creativemomma15 511692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times this past week I have mentioned to a few different people that my 10 month old DS still nurses 5 times a day... They were all shocked that he nursed that much. Is this unusual? Personally, I would rather have him drinking lots of milk!</p> <p>How old is your LO and how many times do they nurse? </p>
