Times per day?

redhead610

DS will be 2 months tomorrow. I have been trying to look up information on how many times per day he should be eating at this point. I know they always say newborns are 8-12, but what about 2 months? He has always done 7, no more than 8, but is it possible for him to be dropping to 6? He is EBF and I feed on demand. He is gaining weight like crazy and has more wet and poopy diapers than I know what to do with! He has been mostly sttn, and this morning he slept later than usual.

We've gone from 9-10 per day to 7-8 per day. She's STTN and I suspect eating a little more during the day. As long as she has wet and dirty diapers and gaining weight she's great!

LO will be 8 weeks tomorrow and she typically eats 7 times.

I honestly don't keep track. As long as everything else is fine (ie weight gain, wet/dirty diapers, etc) I wouldn't think twice.

7 weeks and 7-8 times a day. I give him a rather large bottle at bedtime so it takes the place of one feeding.

No idea, LO gains and has good wet and dirty diapers. Although pedi said at her two month check up she should get 22-25 oz a day

I never count, just feed when they are hungry! if he's happy and having enough diapers, I would say he's getting plenty! I'd rather have them eat 6 good meals than 12 little snacks!

8 weeks and LO eats 7x a day. We FF and average 24oz a day.

Ok not exactly sure how to count feedings when we are still doing lots of cluster evening feedings... But I think it's something like 11-13 feedings over a 24hour period. LO is 6 weeks today. Some feedings in the morning are pretty short but some are up to 30 min! Those ones she tends to be a bit on the sleepy/lazy side.
