Babies: 0 - 3 Months

How much/how often is your 4 month old eating?

I BF my DS and he still eats about every 2 hours from the time I pick him up (noon) in the afternoon to the time he goes to bed.  He still wakes up 2 times a night to nurse as well.  He takes two 4-5 oz. bottles of BM at the sitter's. 

 Just curious if this is typical.

  • my DS is FF. He eats 6 oz every 3 hours and sleeps from 10:00 pm to about 6 am.

     

  • sounds like my lo as well.  I definitely try to nurse every 2 hours during the day so he might sleep longer at night - now he is up every 3 1/2 but I only nurse twice.

  • DD eats every 3 hours from when she wakes up at 7 am until  7 pm, eats again at 9 pm, and is up to eat at 3 am.  She takes three 4 oz bottles at daycare and nurses the other times.

  • DD eats every 2 1/2 hours usually, except at night she eats once (usually).  She takes 3-4 oz bottles while w/ the sitter (from 8 am - 5 pm).  Then she eats twice b/f going to bed, once in the morning b/f the sitter, and once overnight.  So a total of 7x/day. 
  • She eats at about every 2-2.5 hours for a total of 5 breastfeeding sessions and 2 bottles (5-7 oz).   In bed at 9, up at 7:30
