DS is 11 weeks +3. During the day, it is a struggle to get him to feed less frequently than 2 hourly unless we are out and the buggy sends/keeps him asleep. During the night he rarely sleeps for more than 2 hours and feeds whenever he wakes. Last week, he slept five hours in a row one night and four in a row the night before and we thought our luck had changed. But no.
He is co-sleeping with us on his side (we've had huuuge issue re reflux and sleeping, so this is a huge step forward, him being horizontal and not sleeping on someone's chest).
He does tend to go back to sleep at night after feeding, which is good. 'Night' is between nine-ish (bath at eight, feed until sleepy/asleep) and six-thirty/seven-thirty.
He seems to wake about four times a night.
Loads of other babies seem to go three or four hours in the day and longer at night. I realise all babies are different, but I am so jealous!
Is there light at the end of the tunnel? I want to sleep!
(He is breastfed, by the way)

I can't believe how much DS feeds, given others' experiences.
