    9 weeks. Every hour EBF. She's a fatty piglet 11lbs 11oz at her 8 week checkup!
  • 6.5 weeks. Usually 3 hours during the day. Sometimes every 2 hours from 2 o'clock in the arvo, but then she'll have a good night sleep. Which is between 5-7 hours! Ebf for about 10 minutes each side, but if I pump, she loves 120ml!

    My daughter is 8 weeks and she eats about every 3 hours, sometimes 3.5- 4 if we're out and she's sleeping. Except at night, she usually goes 6-7 hours.
  • 5 weeks constantly on the boob all day, and I mean constant because I'm lucky for a ten minute break to let my dogs outside but a 4 oz bottle of formula can buy a few hours
  • 8 weeks... Every 2-3hrs during the day 4oz formula...last bottle of the day around 9-10pm range and sleeps til 6:30-7:30am :)

    5 weeks. 2.5 to 3 hours during the day. Every 4 hours plus or minus at night
  • 8 weeks. She wakes up and will nurse about 6 times in a 2 hour span. Then she will take a 2-4 nap. When she wakes up, she nurses back and forth for a few hours. My fiancé gives her a 4oz bottle and then I nurse her a few more times lol. She goes 4-8 hours at night between feelings. She also likes her food. A 4oz bottle of formula is not enough. She always wants the boob right after! She's a porker lol.
  • Similar to @MeganPobega she'll wake up and nurse on and off for a couple of hours at her leisure. Then she'll sleep for 2-3 hours, wake up and feed for another half an hour, then chill or sleep again and repeat till 6-7pm, then she cluster feeds before bed (10-11pm). She'll go down for 4-5 hours, wake up and feed, then down again for 3 or so. Then repeat! She's almost 7 weeks and at her 6 week check she was 11lb5
  • 6 weeks, and he eats every 3 hours usually. Sometimes if we're out, he'll sleep and eat at around the 4 hour mark, and sometimes at night he'll give me 4 or 5 hours.
  • My kid has GI issues, so she nurses every half hour to an hour to feel better. It's made her 14 lbs at 6 weeks.

  • My daughter is 6 1/2 weeks. At night she goes 6-8 hours for a stretch, then about 3 hours. During the day, she nurses about every 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours. She takes about 4-5 oz if we give her a bottle, and sometimes still nurses for about 45 minutes to an hour.

  • LO is BF (H feeds expressed breastmilk at her "bedtime" and it's a nightmare) and is 6 weeks old today. She goes 3-4 hours between nursing... and that's with me waking her up! At night, the longest stretch is 5 hours but I'm not holding my breath.

  • My son is 9 weeks today and he eats 7-8 ounces of formula every 2-3 hours max. I had to start him on baby cereal because he eating so much formula. He is just constantly hungry! Since I started the cereal 2 weeks ago he'll eat about 4 ounces and then take a nice 2-3 hour nap

    My daughter is 10 weeks and she eats about 4 oz of breast milk every 2-3 hours. I cluster feed in the evening though, and feed her about every hour from 5:00-8:30PM. Then she goes to sleep until around 3 or 4 AM so she is giving us about a 7 hour stretch.
