2 month question

I'm new on here and have a question since my daughter just started sleeping through the night.  How many times per day do you feed your baby?  My daughter eats 5 times per day, and my hubby gives her a 4 oz bottle of expressed milk at 11 PM (so 6 feedings total per day).  Is this enough?  We just saw the pedi on Monday and she is gaining well and the pedi said not to try and fit in the feeding that she was getting in the middle of the night anymore.

    If she is gaining weight just fine that it sounds good to me!  Each baby is different and it's not necessarily about the number of times they are eating as much as it is the total ounces (that also varies as well).  Babies have a way of regulating their intake within a 24 hour period of time.  My DS still wakes up at night to eat, but I'm sure if he didn't he would just eat it during the day instead.  If she's not waking I would just let her be and enjoy it!
