I did practically sit on the couch all day & nurse her. Lol Week 6 to now at week 10 Every 2.5-3 hours with a last feeding gap at 1.5 hrs to top off before bed. She's sleeping 7-8 hours before waking for her night/early morning feeding.

In the evening it seems thats all im doing. She has been sleeping for a 5 hour stretch at night though but not sure thats the reason. rachiecakes on "How often do you nurse during the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-nurse-during-the-day#post-196434 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:01:53 +0000 rachiecakes 196434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I breastfed every hour at that age, it seriously felt like that was all I was doing. I wouldn't say it made him sleep better either though I did get a 5-6 hour stretch every other night or so. mrsjazz on "How often do you nurse during the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-nurse-during-the-day#post-196419 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:53:08 +0000 mrsjazz 196419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO is 2 months, but at 4 wks I breastfed every 1.5-2.5 hours, sometimes every hour. It didn't necessarily help her sleep better at night though. bpcmarj on "How often do you nurse during the day?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-nurse-during-the-day#post-196402 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 14:42:29 +0000 bpcmarj 196402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At first, I was always on the couch nursing. At least it felt like that. Now at 6 weeks I feed her usually every 2 hours, more or less depending on time of day or if she has napped or not.

That seems like an awful lot to me. I think I'd be permanently on the couch if I fed that often. LO is 4wks old and we usually nurse every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs. How often do you feed your newborn?
