how often does your BF 5 week old eat?

Question

Mine eats every 1-2 hours during the day unless he takes a long nap. It seems like all he wants to do when awake is eat!! At night he does a 4 hour stretch, 2 hour stretch then is up for the day. I feel like he eats too much during the day

Answer

It's not too much in the day, breastfed babies cluster feed that's all. There's no "normal" amount, it's all demand feeding at that point. All be it sooooo tiring lol 😊

Answer

My son does very similar he does a 3 and a half to four hour stretch then a 2 and a half hour stretch in the night then he is up for the day too. In a morning he feeds randomly but as it goes into the afternoon he goes to his normal of every 2 and a half hours. Did your LO continue with this routine and may I ask if you noticed any pattern in times? Xx
