Eating #/day

kelly422 · October 2015

EBF mamas, how many times is your baby eating per day and how long between feeds?

I think my little guy is wanting to go longer than 3 hours between feeds.

Here's what my Friday looked like (I was home the majority of the day except when it shows that he had a bottle--we were out at dinner....this is a typical day)

**one time says he nursed for an hour...totally a lie...I just forgot to turn the timer off!! He usually doesn't take longer than 10 minutes on each side!**

My LO eats usually every 3 hours. However she is having a growth spurt and the past few days went back to every 2 hours. Usually I follow her and wait until she wants to eat and don't force her if she wants to go longer or shorter without eating.

LO eats every 2 hours during the night and at least that often during the day. I probably nurse him about 12-15 times. I really wish he would space it out more, he's 13 weeks old.

@kristyn831 WOW!!!

My LO is 11 weeks today. I feed him both breasts, approx. 10 min per side each time, usually 7-8 times a 24 hour period. It ranges from every 2-3.5 hours during the day (like right now he's a little past 3 hours since his last feed, but had been napping in his swing). At night we usually get one 5-6 hours stretch, then every 3 hours. I should add he gets 2 snack/supplement bottles of pumped milk each day. The bottles are 20-35 milliliter... One bottle contains the vitamin D drop, the other bottle contains probiotic powder... Otherwise he is EBF.

@MommaKat37 it's called Total Baby....and it keeps me on schedule! It also tells me which side he ate on first!

My 14 week old nurses about 6 times during the day and sleeps from 9ish to about 5am, when he has his first feeding of the day. I estimate that each feeding is about 5 oz, since that's what he takes when I feed him a bottle of expressed milk.

@kristyn831 I am right there with ya!!! During the night he would go about every 3 hours or so, but the past few nights it has been every 2 hours on the dot. During the day it's every 2 hours as well. Plus it takes him long to eat, about 45-60 minutes. So it's exhausting!! He's 10 weeks old.
