Dd is just over 5 months old and demand fed but I also feed her to sleep if we are at home so she doesn't 'demand' very often. She doesn't tend to go longer than 3 hours without a feed. I think she is having about 5 feeds in the day and 2-4 in the night. Is this about right? It doesn't seem like much in the day but she doesn't get hungry much and she will eat when I put her down for a nap.
Sometimes if we are out and about ill try to feed her before a sleep so she doesn't wake up hungry but she gets distracted very easily so won't always take much. She tends to grin at me rather than eat but that's ok isn't it? She'd make up for it later if she didn't have a full feed wouldn't she? Sorry probably silly questions but I didn't feed past 3 months with my son so it's all a bit new to me.
