Question: At about 6 months old how many times does your baby nurse a day?

I feel like my daughter nurses all the time, she eats baby food twice a day, but she nurses probably 10 times between night and day feedings.

I think my daughter still nurses about 8-10 a day. That doesn't include the 4 or so at night. Boy, I feel like a pacifier but I wouldn't change it for the world.

My daughter is the same way. Now at 9.5 months she is still nursing just as often if not more.

My daughter was nursing about every two hours at that age. The same at 12 months as well.

My 8 month old nurses 6 times a day. My health visitor reacted like it was FAR too much "at her age ", but i know all babies are different and i'm fine with it.

My first nursed 3-4 times an hour, and at least every 2 hours at night from the time he was one month old until he was over 18 months old. If he nursed less than every 2 hours he would throw up.
