Just curious re: eating & sleeping...

Is your LO sleeping regular stretches at night?
How much is your LO eating? Bf or FF?
How old is your LO?
We are just now offering 2 oz today of pumped milk + formula (long story/tongue tied/ appt Monday for it).
I was just wondering if this sounds about right. Also, she is not sleeping so well at night, lots of crying, which is hard with a toddler in the house. She will only fall asleep in my arms, face on my bare boob.

Re: Just curious re: eating &amp; sleeping...
My twins are 1 mo. Old- they are using Gerber formula
My boy eats 5 oz every 3.5 hours- we are trying to push 4 hours. They do sleep in between if they aren't upset they lost their pacifier. They do prefer our contact but if I rock and sing them to sleep then put them in the crib they do best!
My girl Who is a pound smaller is eating around 3.5 ounces.

three out of our four nights she sleeps 2-3 hours at a time, then after a feeding a diaper change is able to go right back to sleep.
How much is your LO eating? Bf or FF?
she eats about every 2-3 hours, for twenty minutes (BF).
How old is your LO?
four days. I hope that this pattern keeps up, but feel as though I am cursing myself as I type this. fingers crossed tonight goes well!
SCANDAL!
my boy can sleep for long stretches some nights. i think he did a whopping 6 hours last night! i went to bed early b/c of a few days in a row of practically no sleep and my husband let him sleep in his swing from 830 pm until 230 am. most nights he sleeps next to me in his r&p and does around 3 hours in a single stretch.
he is eating roughly 3 oz at a time when he hasn't eaten in awhile (3 hours). during the day he cluster feeds like crazy and probably does something like 8 oz in 5 hours. he is insatiable during the day. he gets about half breastmilk and half formula but we are working to get up to all bewby milk soon. the way he eats though, I'm not sure if my supply will ever catch up.
he is 16 days old today.

* She wakes every 2 hours, if I'm lucky 3, but goes back down easily. BUT she has to co-sleep with me at night or she will never go to sleep. During the day she sleeps easily in her RnP.
How much is your LO eating? Bf or FF?
*Every 2-3 hours at night, If she goes 3 hours, then she cluster feeds every 30 minutes. But only sucks for 5-12 minutes each feed. She is BF.
How old is your LO?
* 9 days old.
How much is your LO eating? Bf or FF? We have had feeding issues and he is not gaining as he should. I am trying to give him as little formula as possible, but we have had to supplement with it some days. He drinks about 1-1.5 oz of formula when I give it to him (once a day if that).
How old is your LO? 16 days
Seeing a lactation consultant has helped us so much. I don't know where we would be if we hadn't have gone to see her. Good luck with your appt!
DD eats pretty darn regularly every 3 hours. It's always between 2.5 and 3.5 hours from start of feeding to start of feeding.
She eats exclusively breastmilk, but mostly pumped milk from a bottle since she became attached to bottle feeding in the NICU. We are working hard to reestablish good direct breastfeeding. Anyway, if she eats all bottles, then it's 90mL of breastmilk 8 times a day. 90 mL is 3 oz. So, about 24 oz. a day.
She is 5.5 weeks actual, but it's still a few days until her due date.
ETA: when she first came home, she only ate 1.5 oz. per feeding. She increased steadily until she hit 3 oz. at about 4 weeks old and she has stayed there since.

Is your LO sleeping regular stretches at night?
Its hit or miss. Last night he was up from 2-5 am just like cluster feeding. I AM TIRED. I was crying around 4 am. He would eat for like 10 minutes, fall asleep, detach, I would lay him down and he would wake up crying like 10 minutes later. On good nights he wakes up every 3 hrs. During the day he goes down like a champ! Why can't he do that at night?!
How much is your LO eating? Bf or FF?
We BF. He eats for about 20 minutes a session. When i pump I produce about 2 oz per breast, so I'm guess he's eating about 1.5-2 oz/feed.
How old is your LO?
He is 2.5 wks old.
