Feeding frequency?

Question

My baby is 3 months old tomorrow, is exclusively breastfed and has been feeding like clockwork every other hour since he was born. At his last checkup the nurse expressed some surprise that he was still eating so often. So I was wondering how that is for the rest of you? Do your babies eat less frequently now?

Answer

We are ebf and 10 weeks old he's started eating with more space in-between feeds definitely, we are on about 2.5-3 hours in the day and a 5 hour stint at night xx

Answer

My 13 week old eats every 2-2.5 hrs during the day totaling 7 feeds from first morning to bedtime feed and then goes 7-8 hrs and nurses once during the night “typically”

Answer

Yes, my girl every couple of hours during the days, sometime more, sometimes less but averaging around that. 
Also every two hours during the second half of the night. !!!! She sleeps about 3-5 hours first, starting from around 7pm, then after the first night feeding, wakes constantly till about 6-7am. Fussing and squirming and crying till I give in and feed her. Then same thing for next hour or two till I give in again... (i live in a very small house so I don't want her to cry for too long and wake everyone up)...on it goes till dawn when I start my day. Why can she sleep a long stretch just fine then not at all for the rest of the night????

Answer

My girl eats every 2-2.5 hours during the day, she is sleeping 9 hours straight at night and typically cluster feeds before bed.

Answer

My little guy fed every 3 hr like clockwork since he was born, then he started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old and then he started eating every 2 hr during the day and sometimes only gets 6-7 feeds in during the day. Occasionally he will want to eat 1.5 or 3 hr. But most of the time is every 2 hr. Also curious when they start to eat less often?

Answer

My ebf baby eats every 1.5-2 hours during the day. He’s 10.5 weeks old. But he sleeps 8+ hours at night so my pediatrician isn’t worried because she says he is getting his calories during the day if he’s sleeping so good at night!

Answer

Cluster feeds through the evening (45min-1.5 hours) 
During the day we usually go 2-3 hours. I tend to wake her or pump if she goes 3 as I start to get uncomfortable then.

Answer

My baby is now 12 weeks and I’ve noticed a change in her frequency. She used to want to nurse every 1.5hrs and in the last few days, it’s gone up to 2-2.5hrs. She still cluster feeds in the evenings though.
