Nursing at 6 months - how often?

[Loozle]

My dd used to nurse every 1.5-2 hours throughout the day and once or twice at night. We've recently started blw and she's taken to it really well. Except that now she's not as interested in nursing as often.
Just wondering what the average is at this age?

Not there yet, but my 4-month eats 7 times per day: 3 bottles of expressed milk and 4 nursing sessions.

I bf on demand, but when we introduced solids he went from 12 feeds a day to 6 or so, then depending on his growth spurts he would bf more or less often. Until he reaches 12 months you should continue offering the breast often, as the milk is the primary food source for the babies. This changes after the 12 month, where the solids are the primary food source and the milk is supplementing.

My baby was nursing about every 3 hrs during the day until about 9 months. We also did baby led weaning, but he took a little while to really get a hang of it. Around 9 or 10 months he started eating a TON and he started nursing closer to every 4 hrs.

I think it's normal to go about 4 hours In between feedings. If you're feeding solids then maybe a little longer. I'm sure it's fine, I always just follow my baby's cues and give them what they want.
