Anyone's 11 weeks old..

adcffaa

Is anyone's 11 weeks old still eating every 1-2 hours during the day? Starting at about 7am DD seems to be hungry every 1-2 hours until about 9:30pm at which point she passes out shortly after eating and I dont hear from her again until 3-4am. She is only ever at the breast from 20 mins each time (which might be part of the problem) but no matter what I try she absolutely will not latch back on after 20 mins or so. Is there anything I can try to get her to eat more per feeding and/or less frequently during the day? TIA!

My little guy goes about every 2 1/2 hours during the day.

He does have days where he goes every 2 hours.

If She is nursing 20 min on each side at a a feeding that is great.

If she is refusing more  time than that she has had enough.

My little guy can go like your daughter in the middle of the night, anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.  The only thing I am having trouble with is him getting up at 5 am and staying up.

He was born March 13th, 2010

Mine just started eating every 2 hours (he was going 3).  4 oz of formula at each feeding, won't take any more than that.  He was sleeping from 9 pm to 2 am, then waking up again at 5 am but for the last 2 nights in a row he's eaten at 12, 3, 6 and then about every 2 hours from there... so frustrating!  I hope it's just a 3 month growth suprt and he gets back on track in a few days.  I start work tomorrow and all these night feedings are gonna kill me!!
