EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

How often is your DC nursing during the day? How many hours is he/she sleeping at night?

Re: EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

DS is 4 months old and is nursing every 2-3 hours a day. At night, he'll sleep from 11pm until 6-6:30am, wake up and nurse, and then go back to sleep until about 9:30am.

ETA: He'll also take one long nap in the morning (an hour or so), usually about 11:30am and then about two 10-20 minute long catnaps in the afternoon.

I should have added mine...lol

My DS is almost 4 months.... he eats around 7x a day give or take... he takes 2 naps.... and he sleeps from around 9:30p until 5 or so... sometimes earlier, sometimes later, then goes back to sleep for another 2-3 hours then is up for the day around 8am.

ds is 3 months and nurses every 2-3 hours during day and sleeps 12 hours at night...

Re: EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

DS is 3 1/2 months- he's 14lbs. and 26 inches.
He eats 6x's a day- I nurse him 3x's and he gets a 3 bottles at daycare. His daycare bottles are 5-5.5oz, so @ 16 oz. for 3 feedings and I pump @ 18 oz. for those feedings. So I think he's getting around 28-30 oz. a day.

He falls asleep @ 8:30/9pm and I wake him to nurse at 10pm and than wake him at 6am to nurse him before work. He falls asleep at daycare @ 7:30 till 9/9:30am. He than takes 3 naps at daycare- ranging from 30 mins. to 2 hours. He sleep @ 5-6 hours at daycare and 9 hours at night.

Re: EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

DS is almost 5 months and he is still eating every 1 1/2-2 hours when awake during the day. He takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap which are about 2 hours each. He is also getting up every 3-4 hours at night to nurse A lot of this is comfort nursing as he doesn't take a pacificier and "quit" bottles last month!!! He is definitey nursing at leasat 8 times a day! Oh the joys...

Re: EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

When Kieran was that age, he was nursing 5 times a day, and sleeping about 9 hours at night (usually 10:30-7:30).

Re: EBF Moms of 3-4 month olds....

Wow, your babies are such good sleepers. My DS is eating about 6 times a day. He goes down for the night around 7:30 and is up twice to eat (usually around 11 and 4) and then is up around 6 for the day. He takes 2-3 naps a day 11/2 -2 hours each.

I wish he would do a nice stretch of night sleep though. DH and I are tired from getting up. Slightly discouraged here. I go back to work in a few weeks and would love to have him sleeping through the night.

DD is 3.5 months... She eats when she wakes up @7:15-7:30am & then about every 3 hours. She takes a long nap around 9am & then she takes a couple of quick cat naps the rest of the day. We give her a bath & then I BF her to put her to sleep. She usually sleeps anywhere from 8-11 hours. Some nights she is tired & wants to go to bed earlier than others but it seems no matter what time we put her to bed she will alway wake up at 7:15-7:30am. GL with your LO

DD usually has 6-7 feedings a day. She nurses every 2-3 hours during the day and lately wakes once at night (she was STTN for a month but has since stopped). She goes down by 9 and sleeps until 8 with one feeding in between.
