MAy seem a silly question really but how many times a day is anyone else's 18 week old feeding? I know true on demand forget the clock and all that, but trying to find solutions to his colic at night and someone suggested try 4 hrly day feeds (!!) Have managed to get down to 6 feeds but then other days will need loads almost to compensate. Also worried that as feeding so frequently not getting enough of the good hind stuff, although I always put back on same boob if within 1 hour of last feed, and not letting food digest before next snackette. His longest feeds are 15-20 mins but he does gulp down and seems pretty efficient feeder. Boob does squirt milk in quite copiously too so may be nothing to worry about and barking up the wrong tree so to speak.Woudl be interesting to know how many feeds others are doing a day.
