How often are your babies nursing?

Question

How often does your babe want to nurse, and how old are they? Do they comfort nurse a lot? Do you feed more at night or day? My baby girl is 5 weeks and I feel like I can’t do anything because I’m constantly nursing during the day. I swear she’s always attached to me. I’m assuming some of it is comfort nursing. I’m so thankful tho at night she good. Nursing every 2-4 hours and for short periods. Can usually only do one boob at night per feeding.

Answer

My son is 7 weeks today and he is CONSTANTLY comfort feeding, id say he comfort feeds more than he actually nurses. He acts like he has to have it in his mouth to fall asleep. He sleeps decent at night. We slept from 11-4 and then 5-7 last night and he only woke up to eat that one time. But during the day his naps are spent with his face in my tits lol

Answer

My boy is also 5 weeks today and he nurses alot! Every 2-3 hours during most of the day and every hour in between 19h and 22 or 23h and after that  he does an 4 hour break before starting again every 2-3 hours. He is doing that for about a week now 🤷‍♀️ at least i have a break at night

Answer

My sons 4 weeks old now and I’d say every 1&1/2 hrs during the day he’s wanting to feed with probably one 3 hr gap in the afternoon 
At night anywhere between 1 to 4 hrs between wanting to feed 
I’m seriously thinking bout giving up as I have a 2 year old and feel like I get no time with him at all which upsets me (I breastfed him for 10months) but then I feel bad for wanting to give up and go to formula (nothing against it)

Answer

2-3 hours during the day and anywhere from 3-5 hours at night.

Answer

My baby is almost 5 weeks and he nurses 8-12 times a day just depending on the day 😭 sometimes he will go 2 and a half to 3 hours, but sometimes (on his “snack days” where he wants to nurse for only 8-10 minutes at a time) he wants to nurse every hour and a half to two hours.

Answer

My boy is 4weeks. I nurse him every 3hours during the day (10 min per each boob, 20 min total aproximately). At night when he awakes, 3-4h. I don’t wake him if je sleeps longer. He has 7-8 feedings per day, gaining weight a lot and for me it is totaly manageble. 
When he us not eating, he uses pacifier, which I strongly recommend.

Answer

Baby girl will be 6weeks on Sunday and she is every 2-3 hrs during the day and 3-5 hrs at night (typically 4 but 3.5 and 4.5 are not unusual)

Answer

My son is 5 weeks and is the same. He comfort nurses and nurses for food during the day. At night he does very well these days and can go 4hrs without waking for a feed. I actually pump some so that I can have my husband or one of his older siblings feed him to free myself up some during the day. If I didn’t he would hang on my breast all day.

Answer

Mines is only 6 days old but he eats every 2 hours during the day and at night it varies from 1-2 hours. Breast milk in a bottle or when I breastfeed but had to give myself a break because I have cuts and they are hurting to bf... so I just pump it...
have an appointment with lactation consultant next week.
