Baby stopped feeding as much
My little girl is now just over 6 months. She’s EBF and I’ve noticed she’s stopped feeding as frequently and as much, and doesn’t feed to sleep anymore. She’s would usually feed to sleep for naps and bedtime but now she feeds, fusses for a bit and will either unlatch and fall asleep slowly in my arms or need rocking to sleep. Sometimes she’s crying after feeding cause she’s tired but will refuse the boob to help her sleep and I’ll have to rock her for a while.
Is this normal for her feeding habits to change all of a sudden? Less feeding and not feeding to sleep?

Also have you introduced solids? That's replacing a boob meal.
@Amanda thank you 🤍 I absolutely love that I can rock her and cuddle her to sleep like I could when she was tiny so it doesn’t bother me at all. Just want to make sure that there wasn’t something wrong with her feeding habits changing but it makes sense. We have introduced solids too so that may be why, although she’s in the early days yet so not eating a big amount only small bits xx

Sounds perfectly normal. Baby is going through a big developmental leap right now. Understanding relationships and that you're her #1 human. My 6 month old has wanted to be held or cuddle more and takes a little longer to sleep than normal and restless. There's just so much cool stuff to look at baby doesn't want to sleep. We have to set the mood. You're doing great, Mama! Keep up the great work!
