  He's pretty consistent about 3 hours between feedings. In the evenings, I try to encourage 2 hours.

  I BF him on demand... 

  1.5 - 3 hours during the day (depends on his naps). If we go out he sleeps hard and go 3- 4 hours before waking up hungry.

  3 - 4 hours at night, generally although we finally had one 5 hour stretch this week. 

  the boymom is expecting a girl!

  2-3 hours during the day, although usually 2 and maybe a 4-5 hour stretch at night

  Growth spurt?  This happened to us too - he was doing great and all of a sudden chaos!  It was better after a week though.

  Me too - growth spurt at 6 weeks - only lasted 3 days, but it felt like such a long 3 day!  

  LO gets hungry about every 3 hours during the day and usually there is one feeding that is after about 2 hours - normally around dinnertime when she's a little more hungry/cranky.  Then 5-7 hours at night.
