Your 6 month breastfeeding routine

Finsmummy · Apr 4th, 2012, 06:58 AM

I'd like to know what other 6 mth old babies feeding is like. My lo feeds every 2 hours and at the moment it's frustrating because he wants to bite his hands at same time. This means I get bitten too! At bed last night he fed from both sides then was crying for more and impatient for the 3rd lot, whilst biting hands too!

I dont know if baby is just teething or ready for more milk and tasting foods too?

I would suggest teething and poss a growth spurt - we had a monster growth spurt just before 6mths

LO is nearly 7mths and he feeds 2-3 hrly during day and between 1-2 feeds during night (7pm - 8am). He has dropped a weight centile since 5mths, but gone up a centile in height - those genes are kicking in!

Every two hours during the day and 4 hrs during night (9pm to 9/10am ish). Sounds like your LO is teething
