My dd is 12 weeks, and feeds 6/7 times in 24 hours - this is roughly at 7, 10, 1, 4, 6.30 and then we wake her for a feed at 10pm. She often wakes at 5 or 6, and so I feed her and then still do a little feed at 7am. I heard that 5 feeds is more usual at this age, so should I try and change it? She seems to like this routine, and it suits me, to be honest. I can't seem to get her to go longer between feeds in the day, and we have been unsure about not waking her for the late feed as she's not sleeping through often - also DH seems to really love this time with her (he gives her a bottle), and has been quite defensive about cutting it out! She has a bottle at 4 as well, otherwise all BFing. Her weight is doing fine. Any advice?
