During the week he nurses once in the morning, once in the evening when we get home/before bed, then 2-3 times throughout the night. He gets 3 5-ounce bottles at daycare. On weekends he nurses usually 5-6 times during the day and then 2-3 times throughout the night. I'm hoping he goes back down to 1-2 feedings per night soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828609 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 07:09:40 +0000 bamblm 828609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is seven months this week! He BF's on demand with me, around 6 times a day, about every 1.5-3.5 hrs, or gets pumped milk around every 2-3 hrs with the nanny. He gets two meals of cereal/purees a day. He goes 11-12 hours at night without eating. I foresee us staying on this schedule for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828552 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:35:29 +0000 edelweiss 828552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 4.5 months, and we recently went from him eating every 4 hours to every 3 hours (at the request of daycare, who said he was getting fussy). so he eats 5 times/day. </p> <p>the 4 hour schedule was working at home where he had peace and quiet to take longer naps, but that wasn't the case at daycare. it felt like taking a step backwards and i initially resisted the idea, but then i realized i was focusing on my feelings instead of him and eventually decided it was best for him to go to a 3-hour schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828544 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:24:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 828544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost five months, six or so times per day every two hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828533 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 06:05:23 +0000 CarrieLouWho 828533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is almost 8 months. I'm a WOHM so during the week I BF once in the am and once before bed (she's STTN for 10-12 hours usually). She has 3 bottles a day care. Ends up being 5 x. </p> <p>On the weekends I BF every 3 hours, so usually 5 x a day. </p> <p>However, this weekend I had her Fri-Sat and I think I may not be making enough bc she ate more frequently and had a hard time going down. It also could have been bc dad was out of town too. Not sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828417 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 23:41:17 +0000 HLK208 828417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months and 4 times a day (morning, before morning nap, after second nap, bed time).

Up until last week, she was having five feeds per day but I'm starting to wean so I've dropped an afternoon feed. Next week I will probably drop another afternoon feed.....</p> <p>Sort of sad about weaning, but also excited as we want to try for another and my cycle just seems determined to not come back properly until I'm completely done BF'ing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-828323 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 22:15:49 +0000 MusicaV 828323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months - anywhere from 6-10 times.

It rarely lasts for more than 15 minutes for both sides. I'm definitely going to miss it as we are actively working on weaning, while he may be ready I'm not sure about myself. The past few days we have been working to eliminate the morning feeding, so we are heading to only middle of the night wake-ups and bedtimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-827801 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:17:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 827801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months and about every 3 hours. she has gone as long as 5 during the day but that was because we were busy and I didn't realize it had been that long - bad mom! no wonder she was a little cranky. </p> <p>she's still up every 2-5 hours at night, usually every 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-827792 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:11:39 +0000 tinyperson 827792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months and every 3ish hours...I usually feed her once between 7pm and 6 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-827788 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:08:12 +0000 sera_87 827788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9.5 months &amp; still nurses 8-10x a day. 2 of those are night nursing sessions &amp; he gets 1-2 bottles &amp; 1 meal of solids (usually dinner). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-827584 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:36:07 +0000 shopaholic 827584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had to check my app. 3 months old and avg about 7xs in 24 hr periods.

Morning, after his nap, after his second nap, and before bed. I stopped nursing him at night about a month ago when he started STTN on his own,. He sometimes only nurses from one side and then will nurse on the other side an hour or so later but I still count that as once. He eats 3x/day, plus two snacks, and drinks water with meals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-how-old-is-your-lo-amp-how-often-do-you-nurse#post-827472 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:54:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 827472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm, I don't really keep track, but I'd guess between 6-8 times a day.
