At 7/8 weeks-- how often did your BF baby eat during the day??

Sasha STILL eats every 2 hours during the day... thank god she lets us sleep at night for two 3 to 4 hour intervals... BUT, during the day-- it's so hard since she wants to eat every 2 hours and doesn't always sleep in between.

My son is 3 months and he still nurses every 2 hours for 40 minutes a pop but then he does sleep for 10 hours straight at night.

I've been thinking of asking our ped if it's OK to give him some cereal in hopes I'll be able to do something other than nurse during the day.

OMG DD was such a little piggy. At that age she ate more like every hour during the day. But at night she was better-every 3 hrs or so sometimes less like 4-5 hrs.

Every 2-2 1/2 hours during the day, every 2 1/2-3 hours at night.

DD is like clockwork--once every 3 hours. Sometimes 2 1/2. But now she is starting to eat more often at night, too.

My little guy was infamous for his small meals. He ate every hour while awake for the first 3-4 months of his life. But by that point he was already sleeping through the night (10pm-7am), so the dr said he was getting enough.

He just started eating less last week. Went form eating about 10 times a day to about 7 now. And he's sleeping through the night!!!! Started last week!

Charlotte is 9.5m and still nurses every 2-3h. Thankfully the sessions are ~5m each as opposed to the 45-60m sessions she had prior to starting table food.
