How long between feedings?

It's funny the things you don't remember from one child to the next!

When did your baby start eating less frequently during the day?  Megan is almost 6 weeks old and I've noticed that in the last few days, she is going more like 3 1/2 hours instead of 2 1/2 or 3.  I just don't remember when Nicholas started going longer between feedings during the day.  She already goes 8-9 hours at night.

If it helps, I have a bigger baby. She was 9 lb. 13 oz at birth and at 5 weeks was 11 lb 14 oz.

My LO still eats every 3 hours in the day but sleeps longer at night.  We feed about 10 times until he was about 2.5 months.  All I can say is LUCKY!

My LO is 8 weeks and he goes 2 long stretches at night of about 5 hours. During the day he eats anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours. He has no pattern and only eats for 15 min. before he's full. He is a big baby too and was born at 9.9. He's 14.5 now but still eats all the time!!
