My LO will be 10 months on the 12th. She nurses anywhere between 5 to 8 times a day. It's usually 5 times but we have occasions where she nurses more. She has 3 full meals of solids a day and 1 to 2 snacks. Our days usually go like this:
5 am : nurse
7am: up for day, quick nurse
730: 4 ish tablespoons of chopped fruit, 4 oz yo baby yogurt
10: snack (freeze dried fruit, ella's kitchen bar, corn, cheese, etc...) & nurse
12-1230: 1/2 avocado, leftovers or chopped turkey with fruit & veggies
230: nurse
3-430: snack & sometimes nurse
5ish: sometimes nurse
6: dinner (whatever we're having)
7: nurse, then get ready for bed
But the past two days she has been adding a nursing session around 230 am & wanting to nurse about an hour and a half after breakfast & still wanting her snack, plus an extra afternoon nursing session. Is this a growth spurt or should I increase the amount of food she is getting at meal time? Water is served with all meals & snacks & sometimes through the day.
