34 months, currently feeds bed time, morning and maybe 1 - 4 Times through the day depending on what we are up to. He had a vaccination this morning so was feeling pretty out of sorts, so nursed maybe 5 Times through the day.

My dd is 4 months and feeds roughly every 1.5 hrs during the day. Overnight she wakes at around 2-3, 5 and 6 to feed. She dropped the first feed for a while but always wakes up for it if its warm in the bedroom.

8 months and approx 6 day feeds and 2-3 night feeds.

NewCM2012 · 27/08/2013 10:45

14m and anywhere between hourly to 5 hours if we are out and about.

abi2790 · 27/08/2013 15:19

Almost 9 months and probably 6 times a day. He feeds around every 2-3 hours in the day and maybe once at night.

LeBFG · 27/08/2013 16:00

6mo every 5 hours. Wakes once or twice at night (once mainly).

Previous one was every 2 hours (or even more frequently) day and night till 6 months, then stretched out to 3 hourly in day. Finally at 12m he was going decent stretched between feeds.

Just to show how different even siblings can be!

6 days and every 1.5 to 2 hours
17 months and 2 weeks : every one to 2 hours

Ah so every 2 hours isn't too bad then?
I just thought I had low supply.
DD is on every 2ish hours.

chickabilla · 27/08/2013 19:14

6 month old every 2-2.5 hours, occasionally goes 4/5 hours at night.

poocatcherchampion · 27/08/2013 21:52

how old is she?

AintNobodyGotTimeFerThat · 27/08/2013 22:43

Nearly 5 months.

poocatcherchampion · 28/08/2013 07:56

I think that's pretty normal. well done for persevering.

is it wearing you out?

PinkFondantFancy · 28/08/2013 07:58

4mo and every flaming hour and a half at night. It's ridiculous.

AintNobodyGotTimeFerThat · 28/08/2013 11:05

What about during the day, Pink?

It can be tiring sometimes but not too bad other times.

I do expressing and bfing and some formula top ups so not too bad, but when we have mostly breastfeeding it can be tiring, but it's definitely worth it.

DD is 12 weeks old. Feeds every 1.5 to 3 hours during day. Normally feeds once during the night. Feeds take anything from 20 minutes to 50 minutes.

RNJ3007 · 03/09/2013 16:04

19 days, every 2-3 hours in day, then cluster feeds from 4-8/9pm. Overnight up at 12, 0330 and 7 is the norm so far, but he probably tops up between those times as he sleeps pretty much permanently attached to a boob.

PurpleDana · 03/09/2013 16:08

11days, every 2hrs. Occasionally stretches to 3hrs.

Babouche · 03/09/2013 16:18

Nearly 6m,no solids yet,feeds 5 x day,sleeps 10pm-8
