I know they say pumping isn’t an accurate indicator of what baby is getting but I’m not even getting an oz after no feeding for 4 ish hours.

I was EBF pretty much with my second LO (she rejected bottle after 2.5 months) I pumped a bit when she had good stretches of sleep in the early days/supply was still coming in but once she wasn’t taking the bottle there really wasn’t need to so I haven’t really pumped since the 4 month mark.

So I just want to know if anyone has any experience
With breastfeeding and not really getting anything while pumping. She’s 9.5 months old now. Eats 3 pretty big meals a day I usually BF at wake up and before each nap. TBH the feeds are pretty short now and it doesn’t even feel like she’s nursing as actively as she was before. My first was on bottles pretty much by the 9 month mark too.

She’s been gaining weight but it has def slowed down a bit in the last month or so. She dropped from 50th percentile in weight to 45 but doctor didn’t seem concerned. We’re starting to try to get her on some formula to see if she needs some supplementing, she has a bit of a cows milk allergy so we’re on the hypoallergenic stuff so she doesn’t love it and hasn’t drank much of it but we’re still trying.

Any suggestions or shared experiences are much appreciated !

My internet has been going down often the last few weeks just wondering if anyone has been experiencing the same.

Currently on a 3.25/3.5/4 schedule with my 9 month old. Naps are usually around the same time 10 am and 3pm give or take 20 min depending on wake up. First na is never longer than 1.5 hours, usually 1hr 15 min. We sleep trained with Ferber and she was falling asleep independently for a couple of months. Bedtime is 95% successful (still 2 wake ups at night usually to feed) first nap is my most reliable. For some reason second nap was always a little finicky. I found a thread on here saying for naps to put baby down if she’s still crying after 15 min the to save the nap so that’s what I’ve been doing. She eventually figured it out but sometime would wake up and early (after20-30 min, still clearly tired) so I’d hold for rest of nap. Lately she’s just been screaming for 15 min after putting her for second nap and will sleep once I hold her.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips? I’ve been afraid to let her CIO for too long in the afternoon because then it would mess up bed time.

Appreciate any insight !
