what is your EBF baby's feeding schedule?

How often does your LO eat, and for how long on each breast?

TIA!

Every three hours or so, except at night when I will wake him up around 3:00 (which usually works out to eight hours), and then again at 6:30 when we have to get up for the day. I wake him up because he's in daycare during the day and I don't want my supply to tank horribly because I don't have time to pump. And he usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Spending around 5-7ish minutes on each side.

She eats pretty much every 3 hours during the day, then cluster feeds just before bed. So yesterday for example, she ate at 730am, 1030am, 130pm, 430pm, 630pm, 730pm.

The 2 last feedings (when she clusters) were one side each, about 20-30 minutes of lazy/sleepy eating. The other meals throughout the day are both sides each time, usually 15-20 mins on the first side, 5-10 on the second.

about every hour and a half to 2 hours.  From 4 minutes to 10 minutes.  I only offer one side at a time if I offer both she spits up.

Every 3 hours, I think he eats around 4 oz at each feeding in about 10-15min.  I cluster feed before he goes to bed, though.

ETA I only feed one side at a time

She's eating about every 3 hours (so usually 7am, 10, 1, 4, 7pm). She usually takes 10-15 for each side, so it takes about 30 mins to feed. She wakes up once at 3:30am to eat as well. Hope that helps!

He's really only been on a schedule for about a week - before that, I fed on demand. Now he eats for 5-10 minutes, usually just on one side unless he's still really hungry. We feed at about...
5:15am
7:45am (before nap)
12:30
1:45pm (before nap)
4:30
7:00pm (before bed)
He pretty much chose this schedule himself.

She eats about every 2-3 hours during the day and night. She only takes one side at each feeding and usually eats for about 10 minutes. Sometimes 15-20 minutes.

DD eats every 2-3 hours day and night for about 10-15 minutes (once in awhile longer, like 15-20 mins).  I only offer one side at each feeding.

he eats every 3 hours during the day for about 10 mins on each side.  He eats 5x during the day and once at night.

About every 3.5 hours during the day. She clusterfeeds in the evening starting after her 3rd nap, so around 6, feeding every 2 hours. In bed by 11 and she'll wake once at night to eat.

She only eats on one side, about 10 mins max, sometimes 5 and she's done.

During the day it's every 2.5 to 4 hours, I wait for her to let me know usually (If it's been 4 I just feed her).  At night she'll usually go 7 hours, then we go back to the day hours.  I don't wake to feed. 

She usually only eats one side at a time.  If she gets really frustrated, I burp her and switch sides.  She eats anywhere from 8 to 15 minutes at a time usually.  Every once in a while it's longer.
