What kind of schedule were you babies on around 2.5 months? Our babies are only at an adjusted age of 2.5 weeks and are pretty much eating every 4 hours. They are starting to be awake a little longer at times, but sleep from about 2 to 3 hours between feedings. Sometimes they practically sleep through one of the feedings and then wake up 4 hours after that.
Re: Thos that had preemies
Our girls were 10 weeks early and are just over 2 mos now. They haven't even made it to their due date yet (this Saturday).
Right now we are eating about every 2.5-4 hours. They are on an on-demand schedule now and I don't think they've ever gone more than 4.5 hours without a feeding. They didn't start the 4 hour gaps until recently, but it's still very inconsistent. But now they are awake a little longer and sleep a little longer. It's been slow but we are seeing a trend starting.
this exactly.
