  Haha, I've googled the same thing. Most articles I find say that by 1-2 months of age, baby will probably be nursing 7-9 times a day. So it shouldn't be too much longer (in the grand scheme of things... I know that probably seems like forever right now).

  Eloise still feeds what feels like all the time, she's almost 2 months. I'd say we still have days where she eats 12 times, my boobs are so very tired

  It gets better when they sttn and when they're on solids but even then its still every 3 hours during the day with snacks/bottles and meals.

  I don't even know how often she eats... But it doesn't seem like its anything like it used to be. Sometimes there's 4 hours between feedings especially if we're out and she's distracted. At home I nurse well before she's fussing for it so probably more often than necessary.

  Mia eats constantly during the day and every 2-4 hours during the night still, she is 8 weeks old as of tomorrow. I think she is a snacker though and likes to nurse for comfort. If I ever hold her vertically on my chest she starts "birding" like she is pecking around for milk. I don't know if she actually needs to eat but I always give her the opportunity.

  I hate to say it, but IME with DS he was still eating every 2-3 hours until he started really eating table foods at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that was after his 1st birthday. 

  Granted the number of feeds decreased a bit once he started sleeping longer at night and he also got far more efficient at eating so it wasn't quite the drawn out process it is with a tiny baby so that helps!

  All babies are different.  My LO only fed 8x a day at most (every 3 hours).
