Daytime Feeding Every 2 Hours

Christine

Hi all,

My baby girl is 13 weeks old and is exclusively breastfed. During the day she is wanting to eat every 2 hours on the dot. She can go longer at night (6-7 hours) but the daytime feedings seem excessive. She seems full when I’m feeding her (pushes away breast when done) but is hungry again at the 2 hour mark. It’s exhausting and I want her to go to 3 hours. It’s also affecting her naps since she is napping for only 20-30 minutes and waking up crying and hungry. Anyone else having this issue? Any recommendations? She’s gaining her appropriate weight at each appointment. Thank you!
