A member asked:
I really hope to breastfeed baby for a 1 -2 yrs. as solids are introduced, how often would you say i bf daily? i'd want to at least 2x day or more.

More: early in solid introduction, you may find breast feeding more often than two times a day, especially when done on demand. As the infant takes in more solids- closer to one year of age, you may need only once or twice a day for breast feeding.
