Stretching out feedings? Possible?

Is it possible to stretch out feedings at all when EBFing? LO is 2 months old and during the day eats on average every 2 hrs after the last feeding started and sometimes feeds for 30 min. At night LO sleeps a lot and might eat once or twice before 7 am and goes to bed at 8:30. Just getting a bit exhausted from the constant eating during the day...I shouldn't complain, huh?

That constant eating during the day is what makes him sleep well at night. I'd just keep at it and find some new TV shows or a good book.

My 6mo still eats every 2 hours when I'm home or every 3 hours of EBM while I'm at work. He's also still up every 23 hours at night. At least his feedings only take 10 minutes now!

Not that this would stretch out the feedings but the baby whisper has some acronyms (EASY) (Eat, Activity, Sleep & You time)  that might help you.  My LO pretty much ate at that 2 hour schedule, but occasionally she would get a nap in there that would extend the time between nursing.

I have been wanting to know the same thing! My LOs eat pretty much every 2 or 2 and a half hours. Only they don't sleep so well at night, maybe 3 hours. I am exhausted and looking forward to sleeping. Hopefully sometime soon.
