My daughter is 12 weeks old. She has 7 bottles of expressed breast milk each day. Each bottle is 130ml (almost 5oz) and she usually takes all of the bottle.

My DS is 13 weeks and has about 8-10 breastfeeds a day plus a bottle of about 180ml of EBM each morning.

My 17 weeker never eats more than 100 or 120 mls 8 times a day.

Our LO is 7 weeks and has between 8-12 feeds...mixed feeding so difficult to tell how much he's getting and sometimes he'll have 2oz, sometimes 5!

My dd is 9 months and has 3-4 bf's in the day and 5 bf's over night

ChazzerChaser · 16/01/2014 08:24

Just over a year. Bf before bed, first thing and sometimes once in the night.

Haylebop12 · 16/01/2014 08:31

16 weeks, 9-11 bf in 24 hours plus one bottle of formula usually 4-6oz at any point during the day. Sometimes no bottle.

Mine is nearly seven months, around 5 times a day and 4 times a night I think.

12 weeks, and i lose count every day. Ebf and hungry. 4 times through the night last night and two feeds this morning. Likely to have something most hours today.
Dc1 was also bf and a model every three hours in the day, and was doing 10 hours sleep at night by rhis age. I have no idea what bad feeding fairy turned up at dc2's cot when he was born...

EBF huge 14wk baby (18lbs a week ago) feeds most hours in the day except nap times, and night time depends on how much was eaten in the day. Normally wakes twice, sometimes thrice. And occasionally like last night wakes at 10, 11, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 then up at 7. Yesterday I was out for much of the day and DD doesn't like eating out as much as at home, then she had her first nursing strike last night before bed so I knew it was going to be bad!
Generally feeds for ~2 hrs 45 a day, some 12 min big feeds and some 3 min snack/cuppa feeds.

DS nearly 7 weeks, EBF. Been on 7 a day until last couple of days when dropped to only one feed overnight, so now 6 in 24 hours.

IndigoTea · 16/01/2014 21:16

EBF, 7 months, in the day every 3 hours, at night every hour.
