When did LO space their feedings?

DD typically eats every 2 hours during the day. When did/do they start spacing them out? I need a break! She's EBF.

All babies are different.... I really like this web site that explains the general timeline:

 Sorry, it's not clicky.

Same here. DD is almost 10 weeks and generally still eats ever 2 hours. She is more efficient most of the time, like 10 min a side, but we still have times were she nurses for 25min or even more a side.

I'm going back to work in 2 weeks and have a feeling that she will be attached to me when I get home at night, since she loves nursing. I think it depends on your individual situation.

DS1 ate every 2 hours the whole time he was breastfed. I stopped ebfing him around 4 months.

DD is 9 weeks and still eats every two hours during the day, sometimes more often than that.  She is also EBF.

With DS1, he started spacing out his meals once I went back to work at 12 weeks. However, as others have said - every kid is different.
