We are still on 4 feeds a day at almost 9 months plus solids 3x a day. He had mostly pumped breast milk until 7 months, then 50/50 with formula, and now he's weaned to all formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192421 Thu, 28 May 2015 16:47:13 +0000 msplatypus 2192421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months-ish and we do 4 7 to 8oz bottles, although the last one is usually 5 to 7oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192308 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:40:03 +0000 CakeLady 2192308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 12 months and typically nurses or gets a bottle 4-5 times a day: wake-up, late morning, late afternoon, bedtime, and sometimes very early morning (4-5am).</p> <p>I think at 3 months he was still eating 7-8 times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192276 Thu, 28 May 2015 15:20:48 +0000 blackbird 2192276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 3pm and I've fed him 7 times since midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192245 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:58:31 +0000 yellowbird 2192245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 2 months and 8-12 times a day, ebf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192237 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:54:54 +0000 miramira 2192237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If nursing on demand, 8-12 times is pretty normal I think. At nearly 8 months, DS nurses maybe 8 times a day. I no longer keep track. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192222 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:50:57 +0000 Kemma 2192222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-12 sessions a day sounds about right for my wee guy (8 weeks) and his big sister nursed like that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192219 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:50:09 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2192219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 5 weeks old and eats about every 2 hours with one to two 4 hour stretches.

LO1 was 10-12 times a day (24 hr period) until he was about 6 months old. He looooved to nurse. LO2 was a much sleepier infant and wasn't that into it. She nursed maybe 8 times per 24hr period at most, and she was much more efficient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192196 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:35:16 +0000 Pumuckl 2192196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 months and she's been nursing 5-7 times her whole life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192167 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:23:54 +0000 coopsmama 2192167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's see. M is 10 months and still nurse 3-4x overnight. :bummed: Usually about 11, 2, 3, and 5. She nurses at 7, 11, 3, and bedtime at 7. So 8x a day still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192157 Thu, 28 May 2015 14:18:37 +0000 MamaG 2192157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months - formula fed (6 oz bottles) 6-7 times per day. We also are doing solids once per day (most days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192098 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:53:44 +0000 Meowkers 2192098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 4.5 months and eats 6 times per day. She gets formula. Around 3 months she was getting half formula, half BM and she was eating 7 times a day. She dropped her middle of the night feeding close to 4 months so it went down to 6 times per day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192094 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:52:59 +0000 regberadaisy 2192094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 9m and we are at about every 3 hours max nursing. About 2.5-3 with bottles at daycare. I think with formula they can go longer in between feedings because the bottles seem to usually be bigger! DD2 takes 3.5 oz per bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192092 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:52:27 +0000 avivoca 2192092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed on demand, but on daycare days, we nursed in the morning, she took 3-4 bottles at daycare, and then we nursed twice before bed. She also nursed a lot overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192089 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:51:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2192089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 was about every 3 hours and DD2 was every 2 hours like clockwork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192079 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:50:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2192079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now he is 9 months old and his schedule is usually: </p> <p>Between 5-6 am - Morning nurse<br /> 9:30 am - Bottle #1 daycare<br /> 12:30 - Bottle #2 daycare<br /> 3:30 - Bottle #3 daycare<br /> 5:30 - Nurse at home (he's slowly transitioning this to a solid food feeding)<br /> 7:30 - nurse at bedtime<br /> And then usually 2-3 feedings overnight. </p> <p>So I guess a total of 8 or so still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-are-feeding-your-lo-by-formula-or-bf-how-many-times-a-day-do-you-feed-them#post-2192012 Thu, 28 May 2015 13:45:00 +0000 BSB 2192012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If so, how old is your baby?</p> <p>I was a bit shocked when my sister said that her 3 month old son is being fed 8-12 times a day. I know babies eat often but I thought by 3 months, the frequency would have gone down. Boy, do I have a lot to learn. :silly: Hehe. </p>
