A lot of moms switch to formula around 6 months so it's not unusual for EBF babies to drop percentage at that check up when compared to so many formula fed babies. I would look more at the absolute weight gain than the percentage. I would perhaps try pumping and doing some bottles during the day. Bottle feedings are usually faster so you can get more milk in him before he gets distracted. At that age my LO would definitely get distracted while nursing but at daycare she always sucked down every drop of her bottle.

It helps us to nurse right before naps when drowsy.

It only lasted a few weeks. We also introduced solids, which I think helped. I don't mind one night waking but I didn't feel like he really needed more. But he also started to bite once he was done....so......no. I have a hard time nursing him around his sister because he will bite and want to sit up. I have the best luck in a very quiet room. And even then.....crapshoot. Maybe darken the room for sessions?

Unfortunately I think it's just one of those phases you have to ride out! My wee guy is nine months and he's impossible to nurse out in public unless he's reeeally hungry or tired but he seems to feed better now that he's put himself on a rough schedule.

@Jennibenni: avocado,full fat yogurt, veggies roasted or sautéed in butter or olive oil , cheese and eggs....but don't stress too much, I did and it turned out my LO was just talk and thin. But perfectly healthy.
