How long btwn feedings at 4m?

sarbieb

My LO is going 2.5 hours. Anyone going longer??

My 2 yr old nursed 11m and I thought she started going 3hours around 4-6m but I couldn't remember?! I know she was down to 4 bottles by 8-10m but that's with STTN for 12 hours, which would mean every 3 hours over 12 "day" hours ... It's so funny how much you forget with #2 lol!

It varies.  Sometimes he goes 2.5, sometimes 4.  I just go with the flow and follow his cues and he ends up eating the same general amount by the end of the day.

My lo just turned 4 months and we just started feeding every 4 hrs we were doing every 3. We just made sure to increase bottles so he's still getting the same amount of food. His schedule is usually 730,1130,330,730 feeds

Mine has been about every 3 hours since she was a few weeks old.

Every 3 hours for my LO. If we are out and about it can be closer to 4. It's like he is so busy taking in the sights and sounds he forgets he's hungry lol

At home, she eats every 2-3 hours but at daycare she eats every 3-3.5 hours.

 When Rhys was 4 months, he nursed every 2-3 hours during the day, but he slept through the night (10+ hours). I miss that haha.

Every 2-3hrs during the day pretty much every day.  Night varies.  Last night she did a 7.5hr stretch and then a 3.75hr stretch.  The 2 nights before that she was up every 2-3hrs.

We're on a three hour schedule depending on when he has his first demand in the morning.  He goes back and forth between one night time feed and two night time feeds.  He eats about 6oz every time - so somewhere around 35-40 oz a day BUT we kind of do "on demand" eating rather than set feeds, plus he's only in the 30% for his weight.  He had a phase where he slept through the night but hasn't gone back to it unfortunately.

Every 2 to 2.5 hours for my LO. It varies at night.

Not quite 4 months yet but 3.5-4 hours during the day. Doesn't wake up to eat at night, sleeps 8-10 hours.

We are at 6.5 months and he still nurses every 2-3 hours. I think that's normal until they are really eating a lot of solids. He only eats once during the night though,

Don't worry about the clock. Follow your mama instincts. You've got them for a reason.

At just shy of 4 months, LO has just recently started spacing out feedings from every 2.5 to 3 hours to more like 3 to 3.5, even 4 if we are out and busy. He's still waking twice a night to nurse though.

Pretty much this. DD wakes up twice at night to eat and usually once for comfort. We FF, though.
