Cue based feeding or timed ?

Question

My son is 9 weeks he wants to feed every 1.5 to max if I’m lucky 2 hrs . They suggest to delay feeding to be able to have a long stretch of sleep at night 2.5-3 hrs every feedings ?
Do you cue feed or you time it ?

Answer

It depends.  Is it breast or formula?  If it’s breast, I would continue to cue feed as baby might be telling your body to bring in more milk.  If it’s formula, you can try to delay the feeds a bit with a pacifier (or your finger if you don’t use a pacifier), encourage more at once (which goes for both breast and formula), but really, baby is saying he’s hungry, it’s best just to give in until they get past whatever stage they’re in causing them to eat constantly.  My son was eating every 45-60 minutes and now we’ve hit 3-4 hour stretches again.

Answer

Cue feeder here! My sweet babe never does fewer than 4 hours at night, usually 10-11 unless we're in a growth spurt when it's occasionally 6-7 on the shortest stretch between feeds. Following baby's lead is best, especially with breastfeeding. Every body is different and some breasts need to be emptied more often to keep up supply, some babies need their tummies filled more often to be content. Babe feeds every 1-3 1/2 hours during the day, usually more frequently in the morning, then spacing out more and more throughout the day, a short interval at night and then bedtime's long stretch.

Answer

A bit of both really, I try to feed every 2 1/2 - 3 hours but feee sooner if shes really hungry

Answer

Cue feeder here. My son is doing the same thing, every 1.5, 2 hours if I’m lucky. His dr basically blames me for not producing enough milk for him. Told me to stop pumping and to supplement each feeding with formula. I don’t agree with her so I’m seeing a breastfeeding specialist to see what she recommends.
