How often does your baby nurse during the day now?

3 bottles while I'm at work and nursing on demand. Usually every 3 hours but has started to develop some long night stretches.

Recently DS has been going 3.5-4 hours in between feedings. He has a 6-7 hr stretch at night.

My twins are 4 months and we still nurse on demand, so their demands change daily. That said, they tend to nurse every 3 hours during the first part of the day, with maybe one 3.5 hour stretch, but then they turn around and nurse about every 2 hours at night (was every hour during the recent 4 month growth spurt). They eat about 7-8 times a day, and STTN.

I'm confused. How do they nurse every 2 hours at night and yet are STTN?

Every 2.5-3 hours during the day. She typically eats 6-7 times and STTN.

I said every 2-3 hours, but she's bottle fed. She does sttn from 10-630.

Three bottles while I'm at work during the day and then 5:30pm, 8:30pm, (sometimes 2am), and 5:00am. 6-7 times in all.

LO sleeps 12-14 hours straight at night. He then eats every 1.5 to 2 hours during the day. Which is fine with me...he can do whatever he wants during the day if he sleeps that long at night.
