OMG when will DS start going longer than 3 hours between feedings?

NicholeeK · March 2009

I am dying. ?I thought by now that DS would be spacing out his feedings more or sleeping more at night. ?I'm so tired haven't slept more than 3 1/2 hours at a time since he was born... and that's only once a night when DH does one of the feedings instead of me. ?He's even mostly FF, so shouldn't he sleep longer in theory? ?He eats 8 times a day, 4 oz. and BFs (where he's probably getting at most 0.5 oz) each feeding. ?When did everyone else's LO start spacing things out more or sleep longer at night??

Edited to make sense. ?Sorry. ?LOL.?

I'm sorry. DS is usually giving us one 6 hour stretch and then it is every 3 to 4 hours after that. I think it started around 8 or 9 weeks.

At 2 months, he seemed to go longer.

My son is still eating every 2.5-3 hours, but STTN.

DS has been going about 4 to 5 hours between feedings at night for about 2 -3 weeks. I'm exhausted too, and tired of BFing, but I'm in it for the long run. (I've got it down, it's just annoying to me)

I'm not sure DS spaces out his feedings much more than that now - except at night. It will happen, hang in there.

We fed every 3 hours or 2 hours for the first 2 months. We now feed every 4 to 5 at night and every 3 during the day.

our DS will give us the following at night: 6-61/2 hour stretch followed by a 2-3 hour stretch. or a 5 hour stretch followed by a 3 hour stretch. or two 4 hour stretches. BUT during the day, he will eat every 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 hours.....however we are aware that this could change.... if you get a 3-4 hour stretch at 6 weeks, that is still considered pretty normal.

Not to be a downer but kiddo still wakes (or at least starts to) about every 3 hours at night. He usually goes one 4 hour stretch early in the night. I haven't slept more than 4 hours straight since Christmas so I feel ya!

Carson goes about 3 hours during the day, maybe 4 if she is having a good nap. But she does well at night. she usually goes down about 9ish and either sleeps through unil 7am or she gets up once at night and might sleep until 8-9AM
