How many times...

If you are breastfeeding:

How many weeks is your LO?

How many times does he eat in 24 hrs?

Mrschica

Aria is is 9 weeks.  I feed her about 7-9 times a day--every three hours during the day and anywhere from 4-6 hours at night.

DS is 11 weeks and feeds about every 2 hours during the day, and at night goes anywhere from 47 hour stretches. He probably feeds 10 times total, and I've found if I wake him to feed during the day every 2 hours he usually goes longer at night.

11 weeks 7 or 8 times. 2 to 3 hours during the day anywhere from a 5 to 7 hour stretch at night.

11 weeks, 8 times a day currently, every 3 hours.

My 12 week old is eating every 2 to 2 1/2 hours during the day totaling about 10 to 11 times per day.

I am worried because I return to work next Wednesday and will only be able to pump every three hours instead of every two. I am concerned I won't be able to produce enough to keep up with him.

LO is 11 weeks, she eats 79 times day. I'd like to get rid of one night feeding.

He's 10 weeks tomorrow, and he eats 6-7 times in a 24 hour period.

I ad the same situation ans was worried about this too, but I have found that I more completely empty both breasts when I pump. DS was more of a snacker, hence the eating every two hours. I pump three times while I am gone, with a total of 16 ounces usually, and he only eats 12 ounces (three bottles) while I am at work, so I am actually up about 4 ounces a day. He usually only eats 2-3 ounces at a time from the breast. Hope it works out the same for you.

This. I have developed a freezer stash from pumping at work.
