How feeding changes up to 6 months?

Question

Can someone give me an idea of how many feeds a day changes over time?

For example, it's usual to feed 8-12 times a day for a newborn..when does this Change(do feeds get longer and less frequent?)

What's it like up to 6 months of age? (Up to 1 month/2 months/3 months/4 months/5 months/6 months?)

TIA!

Answer

My daughter is 5 months and exclusively breastfed. She still eats every 3 hours except at night. She sleeps 8 hours without waking at night. We will be starting solids around 6 months.

Answer

My daughter is about to turn 6 months next week and still eats about 8-9 times during the day (no solids). And then has 1 night time feed. If she doesn't eat at least 8 times, she usually is up more at night.

Answer

My son is 7 months and still pretty much eats every two hours!  Occasionally, he will go longer after giving him some solids but up until six months it was every 2 hours on the dot. Usually drank 2 ounces when given a bottle but now that I've been home all summer I EBF, so I'm not sure how much!
