when can you space out feedings?

my girlfriend's son is almost 3 months - she wants to know when she can start spacing out her feedings - she's breastfeeding and usually goes every three hours - she's wondering if she can go to four - is there usually a guideline for this?

I'd like to know too even though DD is only 7 weeks - she's an eating machine so I'm not thinking this will happen for a while anyway.

thanks!

Re: when can you space out feedings?

You can go to 4 hours if the baby isnt hungry. You are feeding on demand with BF babies so if they arent hungry then dont feed them. That's my motto trust me they will let you know when they are hungry.
