my DD is 18 weeks. I was wondering how often you ladies breastfed your LO?

thanks.

We are doing well with 4 or 5 times a day. But I'm worried about my supply dropping.

Its about the same.

In a 24 hour period she eats 7-9 times.

Not sure on weeks since I don't count them, but I nurse more often. Considering he was eating every hour, I'm glad that he's stretching out to 2-3 hours most of the day.

Around 7 to 10 times a day

DS is 20 weeks and he's still eating 6 to 8 times in 24 hours. When he gets a bottle of my milk he will only do 6 oz at the most in one sitting. So I think the 6 to 8 times seems pretty good.

DD eats about 7-10 times a day. Kind of depends on what kind of mood she's in. Typically though she's starting to stretch her feedings to 2.5-3 hrs.

Man, my DD still nurses a lot. 10 to 11 times a day

DS sttn 10-12 hours, so he eats every 2-3 hours during the day usually getting about 5-6 feedings. I even wake him from naps to make sure he doesn't go much longer than three hours. Occasionally if we have a crazy day where his feedings are short, we'll squeeze in an extra feeding.

This. 3weeks ago my DD started stretching her feedings from 1-1.5 hours to 2 hours during the day. I can't complain too much though since she lets me sleep 8 hours at night.

My LO eats about 8 times a day, but a few of those are mini-feeds, like a snack before I go to work in the morning or right before bed. I doubt she's drinking more than 2 oz. I'd say she has 5 real feeds throughout the day.

This.

She eats around 7-10 times a day. Some days she gets really distracted or falls asleep at the boob so we have to make it up later.

About 6 times plus a bunch of cluster feeding during her fussy after dinner time.

ungraceful13 · June 2013

4-6 times a day.

Mom2anAngel2 · June 2013

DS is 5 months old today. I am not sure how many times I nurse him because he nurses on demand. On daycare days I nurse him when he wakes and then he gets 3 bottles at daycare and one at bedtime. He then usually wakes for 1 MOTN feed. I assume I am nursing around the same number of times that he gets a bottle, but some days he cluster feeds.

5 or 6. I try to squeeze in an extra feeding in the evening.

It won't drop, they'll just eat more per feeding if they need it.

Chappy_jr · June 2013

7-9 including the frequent night feeding/comforting he has needed this past week and half. Before this Wonder Week it was more like 6-7. DS will be 19w tomorrow.

I don't feel like I'm nursing her that much and she STTN. Her last feeding is around 730pm. Idk how we do so many feedings lol but I keep track of them.
