How much bm should a 9 mo be drinking?
Hi, I know that there are some breastfeeding specialists out there so I was wondering if someone knows how much breastmilk my son should be drinking.
We are doing BLW so there are days that he eats a lot of solids and others where he has almost none, though I am offering 3 solids meals a day and he generally has a fairly good appetite. I am exclusively bf-ing and ds weighs 9.1 kg for 74cm. I don't pump often, but when I do I only get about 50-60 ml so I usually pump multiple times if I need to leave ds and leave a bottle with 120-140 ml which he finishes. I have no idea how much he's actually getting at the breast but hope its closer to 120 than to 60 mls!
He is also still waking 2x in the night to eat. My ped said that I could stop feeding him, but I'm concerned that he's not getting enough milk during the day and might actually need the feeds. That being said I haven't had a full night's sleep for 9 months and would LOVE to sleep more than a few hours in a row. I am not willing to introduce formula, so if that's the only way to get them then I'll keep getting up, but if we could cut the night feeds without doing so I'd like to. Right now I am bf-ing 6-7x in a 24 hour period.
Thanks for your advice!
