When did your breastfed baby start eating more and having less BM?
Hi folks. My EBF 11 month old baby doesn’t really care for food. She usually has a few bites if I’m lucky and the rest of the food ends up played with and on the floor. She doesn’t let me feed her either, though she used to. Purees, BLW, doesn’t matter - she wants to be independent and not be fed.
I aim for 3 meals a day but sometimes can only do 2. It’s so hard when she eats none of it. I think she gets 95% of her calories from breast milk. She isn’t crawling yet though very very close, she’s more cerebral and likes to sit and explore toys. Also no teeth yet but she’s cutting her first two. Idk if there’s any correlation between teeth, crawling and food intake?
When did your EBF baby start to show interest in food? How did the weaning process go, for those of you with babies who didn’t self wean? My baby will definitely not be self weaning any time soon and I don’t want to wean her until she’s ready. Keen to hear from people with older babies and toddlers who preferred BM to food, and how their feeding journeys went to how they are now.
thank you for sharing!
