He is nearly 8 weeks old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967729 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 17:03:55 +0000 Kemma 967729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is just over nine months, has just recently "routined" herself and usually nurses 5-6 times day. Prior to about eight months we probably nursed 7-10 times a day.</p> <p>She nurses at roughly:</p> <p>0700 on wakeup<br /> 1000 nursing down for her morning nap<br /> 1500 nursing down for afternoon nap<br /> 1930 nursing to sleep</p> <p>We usually have one or two night feeds and sometimes an extra feed between A's afternoon nap and bedtime, we do BLW style solids three times a day. We also nurse for comfort or soothing as and when required during the day (yay for boobs!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967698 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:50:49 +0000 ALV91711 967698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During the day e every 2-3 hours, but closer to 2.

I hope we don't go through any regressions because the 4 month mark is when I go back to work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967637 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:23:04 +0000 JoJoGirl 967637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was just wondering this with @Smurfette. </p> <p>A is 11.5 weeks and eats every 2-3 hrs still during the day (which surprises me is so normal). Her longest stretch of sleep is still 6 hrs, and the stretches after that are closer to 2. I'm so tired!</p> <p>@autumnlove: STTN at 3 months?!?! Gah so jealous!!!!</p> <p>ETA: Gah I didn't realize I have such a bad sleeper.... she's usually up 3 times in 12 hours :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967634 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:22:19 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 967634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 8-10 times a day (one of those being in the MOTN). She's 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967632 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:20:52 +0000 sslm 967632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool! I was just interested where everyone was at! People like to ask how often I feed her and then look at me like I have 5 heads when I can't give a concrete answer. Maybe from now on I should say "whenever she's hungry!!" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-your-on-demand-baby-nurse#post-967629 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:17:02 +0000 autumnlove 967629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months yesterday.

At night the longest he'll go is 4 hours.
