DD was 34 hrs for a long time. Around 2 3 months is when she started sleeping 5 hours though the night. It gets better so hang in there!

Lo is 7 weeks now and is now feeding about every 4 hours or so.

DD2 is 6 weeks old and eats every 2-3 hours during the day, cluster feeds during the evening and then will sleep a 5-6hour stretch at night, wake to eat and then sleep another 3-4hour stretch. So she usually goes to bed around 10pm, wakes up at 3am or 4am and then sleeps anywhere's from 7am-9am.

DD is almost 12 weeks, and we're still pretty much on this schedule, though she will go 7 hours at night on occasion. OP, it gets a LOT easier when they start sleeping longer stretches at night. For us, that was around 3-4 weeks. It's also a lot better when they get more efficient at eating, so that each feeding doesn't take so long. Hang in there!

Our son is 11 weeks and eats at least 4oz every 2 hours during the day. Cluster feeds from 7pm to 8:30pm usually three feeds. And sleeps for 8 to 10 hours straight.

But up until 8 weeks we had to wake up every 2 hours even at night. So week 8 is when it all changed for our little guy.

Mine started at about a month or so.  She sleeps about 5-6 hours a night before waking to eat.

Almost 7 weeks and we still are every 3 hours during the day.  At night she has gone 6 hours and then back down for another 3-4.

You've got a few months to go before they really start stretching feedings out. Most babies less than a month old eat every hour or 2.

He eats every two during the day, then sleeps eight hours, then back to every two. He started sleeping five hours at 5 weeks old. It won't last forever.
