breast feeding moms with newborns: how frequent does your baby eat? does he/she get up between feedings to eat? my baby gets up every 3 hours to eat but today he got up twice between one of his 3 hour feedings
Yes this is my first time breast feeding So i thought it was anything wrong..
It could also just be that his belly is growing. They start out tiny, like a marble, then get bigger and bigger every day.
@kibella22, oh ok lol Im like why is he Eating so much and he is only 3 days old
I stopped timing her now I just feed on demand it's so much easier and convenient if ur breastfeeding and helps with ur milk supply
Cluster feeding! It's normal they'll do that at some point during the day. Some days my baby cluster feeds all day long if she's going thru a growth spurt.
Too long between nighttime feedings?
My daughter is 3 weeks today, and last night she went 5 hours between feedings for the first time. We're breastfeeding and she usually wakes me up every 3 - 3.5 hours to eat at night. Is 5 hours too long to go without eating at this point? How long do you let your baby go between nighttime feedings? Thanks :)

I have a question my son is 2 months old and is 12 pounds he was 8 pounds when he was born He is on eating 6 oz every 3 31/2 hour at night he goes 8 hours with out eating does anyone else baby eat this much
does waking up every two to three hours throughout the night to feed a newborn get any easier? ? I'm literally falling asleep while feeding her -_____-
Does your baby just want to eat less sometimes? My son is on roughly a 3 hour eating schedule. He usually eats 4-4.5 ounces a feeding but every now and then it is a struggle to get him to eat 3. He is 6 weeks old. How much do you let your baby drive his volume? He was exclusively fed bottled breast milk for 4 weeks and has been 100% formula for 2 weeks now.
So I’m getting mixed answers on this topic.. I learned at a baby class I took at the hospital that you need to get up and feed your baby every 2 1/2-3 hours. If they’re asleep you should wake them and feed them.. then I’ve heard from other people the exact opposite.. that you should sleep when they sleep and wake up to feed when they wake up.
What are you opinions on either option?
@babybump
Nothing's wrong even though if u. Do have any concerns speak to ur lactation consultant. Since he's three days the more he eats the more he's telling ur body to make more milk
