EBFers, how often do you nurse?

Mrs.Kent · July 2009

I feel like I'm feeding her all.the.time. Sometimes once an hour. Anyone else? Max was never any more frequent than every 2 hours.

I`m still nursing him EVERY TWO HOURS and he's 3 months old. ?It's b/c of his reflux. ?

depends on him. i demand feed. he usually goes 2-3 hours during the day but there are times when he wants it every hour... nights are about every 4-6 hours tho. hes treating me well

Liam still eats every two hours, aside from the night time, when he usually goes at least one 5 hour sleeping stretch.

that is how DD was the 1st 3 months. now she eats every 2-3 hours and STTN. GL!!

I nurse on demand. Which is still every 2.5-3 hrs during the day. Your LO might just be going through a growth spurt. It shall pass!

I feel that way also sometimes! DD usually eats every 2 hours, sometimes 3 if it's a bottle.

I feed on Demand and right now he's feeding every 1 to 1 1/2 hours.. i think its another growth spurt. At night he can go 3 1/2 to 5 hours between feedings. thank god.

I nurse my girl every 3 hours during the day and every 4-6 hours during the night. Every hour seems like a lot! I guess it could be a growth spurt if it just started.. if it has always been that much than maybe your LO isn't getting enough. How long does she nurse for? Does she fall asleep while nursing? Have you ever pumped to see how your supply is? My girl always falls asleep so after she nurses 1 side i go and change her diaper which always wakes her up so then she will nurse on the other side longer.

Every 2-3 hours during the day & STTN as well.

This except DD goes 4-5 at night. We got 6 hours out of her once, but made up for it with hourly feedings the (entire) next day.
