How old is your infant and how long do they go between nursing sessions? How often do they eat solids and how long is each nursing session?
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, my DS nursed every 3 hours (not sure for how long, anywhere from 5-15 minutes) during the day. He slept through the night so his last feeding was at 7/730 and didn't get another one until somewhere around 7am the next morning. He had solids three times a day, but no purees (we did BLW). It worked out that he would eat solids halfway in between each nursing session. I think around 9-10 months his nursing sessions went to 4 hours apart.

Logan (8 months) goes 2.5-3 hours between nursing. He eats 2-3 "meals" of solids, but they are only 2-4 oz of purees. The weekend usually looks something like:
6:00 a.m. - nurse (usually for 10-14 minutes)
7:30 - solids (2-4 oz)
9:00 - nurse (8-14 minutes) to sleep
11:30 - nurse (8-10 minutes)
12:00 - solids (2-4 oz)
2:00 - nurse (8-14 minutes) to sleep
4:30 - nurse (8-10 minutes)
5:30 - solids (2-4 oz)
7:30 - nurse (8-14 oz) to sleep -
DS is 9mo (8mo adjusted), he nurses once in the night and 3 times during the day after he wakes up for the day and from naps, usually around 7:30, 11, 3:30 and gets a bedtime bottle (6oz formula). His morning nursing session is the longest, 15-20min. The others during the day are 5-10min. He gets solids 3 times a day, an hour or two after nursing (8:30, 1, 5:30)

E is 18 months. He nurses every 3-4 hours while awake. He usually gets up at 8am and goes to sleep around 10:30-11pm. He also still takes two naps.

My son nursed every 2 hours for most of his first year during the day and slept pretty much through the night. At 6-8 months he had 1-2 small meals a day. Cereal and puréed food.
