Feeding

I'll try not to get too TMI. ;)
M has dropped down from three BFs to two a day (and two bottles of formula during the day time). We dropped the "dreamfeed" in the last week or so, as we'd worked it forwards from 11pm to 8:30pm, and we figured M would cope without it. She really wasn't drinking much at all, and barely waking up for it. So she still has a BF after waking up in the morning and before going to bed at night. But lately ... anything distracts her! If JR is walking around, if the TV's on, if there's air in the room .... anything, and she's moving around, chatting, stretching, trying to climb on the couch, grab the TV remote, anything she can to move around. The big, wide world is SOOO interesting. So I'm not too sure if this is a hint that she wants to wean or not. She still drinks OK, in between the very occasional bite (ouch!). I've been hoping to get M through winter with at least some breast milk every day, but it seems she might have other ideas ... we'll see how it all goes.
