Answer

I have my son on a schedule during the day, mostly because I'm able to feed him at work (his daycare is on the same campus). I have to let my boss know set times I'll be nursing. Between 6am and 8pm he eats 5 times, and will wake up at some point during the night to feed once.

Answer

I'm breastfeeding. My son is 17 days old and he eats every 2-3 hours about 10-15 minutes on each side.

Answer

My little girl is 7.5 weeks and is breastfed. I am still feeding on demand, but it's usually every 1.5-3 hours. She has started going longer stretches at night; we had one 7 hour stretch this weekend.

Answer

We're doing breastfeeding - about every 1.5 - 3 hours depending on how much she ate at the last feeding. She's typically done after one side. She eats for 8-20 minutes (excluding time she's not actively feeding). Normal feeding is 10-15 minutes.

I was a bit worried that she's not eating long enough (nowhere near 20  minutes on each side each feeding!)  but we just had her first doctors appointment and the doctor isn't worried- she's back up to birth weight and is satisfied after feeding and having plenty of dirty and wet diapers. She's 5 days old.

My milk practically shoots out as soon as she seems hungry, lol. Whatever breast she doesn't eat from during a feeding leaks profusely while she eats.

Answer

Formula fed! He's on Nutrimigen and eats every 3 1/2-4 hours. Every night he gets his bottle around 8:15-8:20 goes to bed at 8:30 like my other two kids, wakes u around 12:30-12:45 for a bottle stays up for 10-15 minutes and goes back to bed.. Then wakes up again from 5:30-5:45 for another bottle and then goes back to bed if he does see his siblings while they are up if he does he will stay up till 6:45 and then falls asleep once they are on the bus then sleeps till 9 am

Answer

My baby is 11 days old and she is fed both breast milk and formula (enfamil) she drinks between 1.5-2oz every 2-3 hours. I've noticed she eats every 2 hours when it's breast milk and closer to 3 hours when it's formula.
