Breastfeeding 3 month old

My ebf 3 month old wants to feed every 1.5-2 hours. Does this sound right? I keep reading about babies at this stage feeding every 3/4 hours.

My DD fed very frequently for quite a while. Luckily for me she was ok at night, just made up for it by lots of feeding all day long!

Mine did that. She's turned out ok so far!

Very normal and probably relates to a growth spurt. They will feed more regularly at times to increase your supply ready for a spurt, the 3-4hrs is the minimum interval for feeds but more frequent is ok and often necessary.
As long as the latch is good and nappies are normal it’s all good. Plenty of nipple cream and water and go with it.

Yep!

Sounds normally to me.

Ha every 3-4 hours? My almost 5 month old can't even go 3 hours (except when he does his 9/10 hour sleep over night).
Feed on demand and you can't go far wrong.
