Answer

You should feed on demand - if that's what baby "demands" and is developing well, you're OK!
My little one wants to eat 10-15 times a day. Sometimes twice an hour, sometimes 4 hours in between.

Answer

My son is 5 weeks and eats about every 2 hours sometimes 3.

Answer

My daughter is tiny but she eats every 1-2 hours. I feed on demand. You may have a bigger milk supply. So getting more at each feeding. Is baby gaining weight n having lots of diapers?

Answer

Usually for breastfeeding its recommended to feed every 3-4 hours, not only to make sure baby is getting enough but to make sure your supply doesnt drop too much. My daughter feeds every 2-3 hours during the day and usually every 3-4 at night, but she does occasionally go 5 hours on the night without a feed since I stopped waking her.

Answer

My baby is formula fed but he goes around 4+ hours during the day and then he usually goes around 6+ hours overnight. He's eating 4oz a feed.

Answer

I feed on demand. I will say though that she doesn’t eat nearly as often as my first did. Mine goes 3-4 hours stretches sometimes longer before she acts hungry. With my first I feel like she was constantly hungry. If your baby is gaining appropriately and having wet diapers it’s fine.

Answer

Mine is almost 7 weeks and I feed on demand, which is typically about every 3 hrs for him during the day. At night he usually goes one 4.5-5hr stretch and one 3.5–4hr stretch. 
Right now though he’s in a growth spurt and we’ve been feeding more often than the 3hrs. 
If your baby is growing appropriately, having enough wet diapers, and seems content, you’re probably just fine! 😃 I’m kinda jealous... lol
