how many times a day does/did your 2 month old eat

DD is EBF and has always eaten 7-8 times a day.  is there a point at which they eat less frequently?  she only gets up once during the night so to get in her feedings, she has been nursing basically every 2 hours during the day.  just wondering if/when she may spread her feedings out/drop one

Re: how many times a day does/did your 2 month old eat

  • DS averages at about every 2 hours during the day and wakes anywhere between 2-4 times per night.  He is 9 weeks on Friday.

  • DS is 7 weeks but nurses 7 times during the day and once overnight. I think they stick to the 8 times a day average until they start solids. I could be wrong about that though.

  • About 7-8 times/day for DS right now. He's been drinking 4 oz but the last few days, he's increasing a few bottles to 5-6 oz.

    With DD, she did start having bottles every 3 hours during the day and STTN so she would only have 6 bottles and just more volume (eventually up to 8 oz). I think she started this around 3 months with 6 oz each time.

  • Thanks ladies!

    I have started offering both boobs at each feeding (she used to be content off one) and will work on increasing her one bottle of pumped milk too.  She used to go 3-4 hours during the day, but just last week when she started giving us solid 8 hour stretches at night, she now eats every 2 hours (sometimes more!) and takes 45ish minutes to eat so she's basically always attached to the boob

  • between 4-6 oz 8 times a day usually. He sleeps through the night so he makes up for his feedings by eating a lot more in the morning.

  • You LO eats 5 times during the day and once at night.  She is ebf, so I don't know how much she eats.  This seems like a lot less than everyone else.  Should I be feeding her more?

  • My 7 week old isn't a very consistent eater at the moment.  She was eating every 3 hours like clockwork, but now in the morning she'll sometimes want to eat every hour, then in the afternoon every 2-3 hours.  She's fed about 2-3 times overnight.
