Feeding schedule

Hayley
How many times a day is your newborn (1-7ish week old) eating in 24 hours? I know the rule I was told was 8-12 times. I breastfeed on demand and today my 5 week old has only eaten 7 times so far since midnight. Usually it's about 8 or 9 but today he just hasn't been as hungry, didn't know if that was concerning.
