hmmm so whenever i offer elijah bf he feeds for at least 5 minutes - especially if he is sleepy.
my question is, how do i know if he *needs* it, he roots still if he is tired or upset but otherwise doesn't seem to 'ask' really. atm he has one bf on waking (have stopped this then started it again so im pretty sure he needs it), then usually a small one pre-nap in the morning and another slightly longer one pre-nap in the afternoon. then one long on at bedtime which im sure he wouldn't settle without.
i'm not sure he needs the 2 daytime ones really? is 2bfs a day enough? he doesn't get any formula and doesn't drink milk just yet. i am happy to continue with the 4 a day but hubby seems to feel he is able to get elijah to sleep at naptime - then i worry that he hasn't had as much milk as he needs and has just fallen asleep out of tiredness...i read that there is a certain amount of oz formula babies are meant to get at 10 months but obviously it isn't really comparable?
im not sure im explaining this well! any thoughts?
