It meant dropping from 7 feedings per day to 6. We just started adding an extra 1/2 oz to each of their other bottles...they sort of figured out on their own that they needed to eat more during the day. Hooray for more sleep!!! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/number-of-feedings-and-sttn-1#post-598781 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:26:33 +0000 LemonLong 598781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We feed every three hours and my LO gets 5 feedings a day. She nurses once in the morning and once before bed and then gets 3 5 oz bottles at daycare. I increased the daycare bottles volume when we dropped a feeding when we moved her bedtime earlier. DD is 4 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/number-of-feedings-and-sttn-1#post-598768 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:22:22 +0000 dolphin 598768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't increase the number of feedings BUT she seem to be nursing LONGER on the breast now that she's STTN. So I guess she's just drinking more during each session to compensate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/number-of-feedings-and-sttn-1#post-598756 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:15:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 598756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't, because he is 12 months and STTN. He eats full solid meals.</p> <p>How old are your boys? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/number-of-feedings-and-sttn-1#post-598754 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:15:32 +0000 DillonLion 598754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. She gets fed every 1-3 hours during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/number-of-feedings-and-sttn-1#post-598749 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:13:59 +0000 sunshineandsushi 598749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boys normally eat 8 4 oz bottles of breast milk in 24 hours. Now that they're sleeping longer stretches at night, I realized that they only get 7, sometimes 6 feedings. I normally feed then every 2.5-3 hours.</p> <p>When your LOs started sleeping longer through the night, did you increase the number of feedings during the day, or how much they ate? </p>
