BFing moms- timeframes

Vicki3203 · April 2013

Hi ladies. Right now, I am EBF and LO eats every 2 hours, maybe 3 if I'm lucky. I know BM goes through baby's system quicker than formula, but I was just wondering how often other BF babies are eating.

Same here. I might get a 4 hour stretch at night.

About every 4 or 5 hours. I have tons of milk though and she's gaining a lot of weight already. With DS, he ate around every 2, 3 hours.

During the day it's 1.53 hours and at night it varies. Some nights it's ever 1.5 or 2 hours, some nights it's 4 or 5 hours.

I'm feeding every 2-3. But sometimes he cluster feeds during the day and then it's every hour! I'm a FTM and it's making nervous to go out and do anything with him since I never know when he's going to want to eat. I'm hoping it will get

DS cluster feeds a lot...

Kurimja1210 · April 2013

At first, LO was eating every 2-3 hours during the day and super cluster feeding at night. Since I have a 4 year old too, this means no sleep for mama lol. Now, LO is doing 3-4 hour stretches during the day and 2-3 hours at night. So I get a little more s

My son is 3 weeks old and BFs every 23 hours during the day and every 45 at night. It's been this way for about a week and I PRAY it stays this way bc I'm functioning very well with this amount if sleep. Also, if I want to leave during the day, I'm sure

We're on demand during the day, but I'd say she eats every 60-75 minutes if we're home and closer to 90-120 minutes if we're out and about. At night, she usually lasts about 4 hours.

3 hours max overnight, somewhere between 1.5 and 3 during the day.

doremi29 · April 2013

She cluster feeds a loy- especially in the morning but sleeps great at night waking once maybe twice, so I'll take it for now

Leni410 · April 2013

DD is 4 weeks old and eats every 2.5 to 3 hours during the day and usually every 4 at night although she went 6 hours last night... Had i been awake i would have freaked out that she was still sleeping.

MSW_721 · April 2013

It varies a lot. Some times she'll go 3 hours plus during the day (though I will offer after it's been 3 hours) and sometimes she cluster feeds. She is all over the place. It's kind of a change since DS ate every 2 hours on the dot until the time he was a

watermellens · April 2013

I usually wake him to eat every 3 or 3 1/2 hours during the day though sometimes he'll want to eat every 2. the last couple days he's been cluster feeding non-stop in the evenings, but then sleeping a 4 1/2-5 hour stretch at night. Then eating and going b

michalupo · April 2013

Very similar to others... LO is a month old and is eating every 3 to 5 hours at night and 1.5 to 3 during the day. She's gaining nicely so I stopped obsessing over time frames and going pretty much on demand. I also pump the little bit that is left after
