10 weeks - how long between feeds?

[HappyAsASandboy]

My twins have both been feeding every 2.5 - 3 hours or so (I'm feeding on demand) since birth, with occassional days of more frequent feeding and the very occasional 5 hour stretch.

Since yesterday they've both been going 4 hours or more without asking to be fed. I tried to feed my daughter after 2.5 hours today as we were going in the car for an hour and I didn't want her to be hungry during the journey, and she took only a little bit, so I don't think I am missing feeding cues - they seem to only want to feed every 4-6 hours of so.

Is it ok for 10 week olds to be going as long as 4 - 6 hours betwen feeds? Their general pattern is eat-play-sleep, so initiating a feed would normally mean waking them.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Congratulations on bf twins!!!!
You're doing so well! They seem to be very happy so why would you worry?

I bf my twins for 17 months. Unlike my 1st daughter twins fed only 5-10 minutes so i was worried that my girls were not getting enough milk so i used to wake them up at about 12 at night and fed them. what a crazy woman my husband used to say. I ended up with them waking up around that time everyday and i couldnt stop it for a very long time. So my advise to you bf when they want it.

well done and keep up!!
