How often does your LO eat?

My DD is 2 months and 2 weeks old. She dropped her night feeding and now STTN, but is eating less during they day, maybe 4 times. What about you guys? Anyone else get a lot of snow? In NJ, think we got close to 10 inches!

Re: How often does your LO eat?

  • I'm in NJ too and we have a lot out there!

    My DD is EBF and she STTN too.  She eats 7 times a day.  Spreads them out in the morning and early afternoon and then late afternoon/evening she eats about every two hours before going to sleep.  On average she sleeps from 10 to 7.

  • I'm in Phila and we got about 2in. Very lucky this time!

    My LO is 11 weeks and she eats 6oz every 3 to 4 hrs. The only time she will go 4 hrs is if she is asleep. If she is awake then 3 hrs she is screaming for a bottle. She sttn sometimes and sometimes she will wake up once to eat.
  • Hi,

    I'm in NJ too! DS also started STTN and also seems to be eating less during the day. I was going to start worrying but will wait to see if that affects his weight - he is big though - 17lbs at 2 months, 1 wk & 4days.

    I mostly feed him on demand - used to schedule until he got a cold and I switched to on demand, haven't gone back again.

  • V is 14 weeks old and is FF. He typically eats between 6-7 ounces every 4 hours. (He also has a teaspoon and a half of cereal in the bottle on Pedi's recommendation for reflux) Sometimes he will take an additional 4 ounces right before bed, but that is not consistently every day. He is not STTN yet, but when he wakes it is not to eat. He is never fully awake, just fussing until paci goes back or swaddle is made tighter.

    We have about 18 inches of the white stuff where I am on LI.

  • E just started to cut down too. The last 2 days he didn't eat from 9-5 and then during the day he is going 3-4 hours between feedings.
  • 40 inches?!!! Holy cow! WOW.  I've been worried about my DD's eating less, but everyone tells me she's fine, that I worry too much, that she'll let me know when she's hungry.  I called the dr and he didn't seem too concerned, said I could take her in for a weight check.    Yesterday she ate 4 times but she's been crying about 10 minutes in.  She burps but then continues to scream. It's frustrating!
  • Noah STTN also....usually 9:30 pm to 7:00 am. Every now and then he will wake once around 4 or 5 am. I consistently feed him 6x per day...every 3 hours but then squeeze in one last feeding at 8:30 pm. I haven't been brave enough to drop that one yet. I know he could probably go a little longer between feedings during the day and still do his last one around the same time, but I don't want to mess things up.
