Many, many times 🙃
We vary. For 3 nights in a row last week she went 8-8 with just one feed and then the last 3 nights it’s been every 2/3/4 hours. There’s just no pattern with us x
As above, it varies quite a lot with my boy. We had a while of just 1-2 feeds, but recently he's been waking up more like every 2-3 hours (and a few nights of every hour 🫠). I'm not sure if it's sleep regression or hunger, so I'm trying to settle him first without boob, unless it's been 3 hours or so since last feed and then I just offer the boob straight away.
Last night for us we had 7.30, 9, 10.30, 11, 2.40, 5.20, 7.20. Some nights vary but he usually only does one longer stretch of 3 ISH hours and all the other feeds are a much smaller gap x
@Natasha exactly the same to my girl. She started waking up more at night in last 3 days. I can only settle her by lift her up and hold her sleep but eventually she need to be fed every 1,5-2 hours.
Mines only 14 weeks and she goes off around 10 pm wakes and feeds around 1 am and the nothing till 6-8 am
My 14 week old goes to bed properly around 9.30 after a feed, normally sleeps around 6 hrs first stretch. Wakes around 3.30/4 for a feed and after that back to every 1-2 hours. So from 7pm to 7am she has at least 3 feeds
My boy would usually be 7pm, 11pm, 2.30am, 5.30am, 7.30am. Something like that 🫠
My 16 week old will have an hour feed between 6 and 7. Usually wake 45/hour later for a small feed and then wake around 4.30 for another and start the day around 7ish. But we can have days of every couple of hours. No real settled pattern yet !
we are normally 7.30pm, 10.30pm, 2am, 5.30am, 7.30am.
@Natasha could have written this myself with my boy 🥲 I’m doing the same!
Depends. Usually 3 times. She'll have one long stretch at the beginning of the sleep then after that every 2-3hrs.
However many times they want to feed! My first wee boy would have fed at least every 1-2 hours, sometimes more frequently at 12 weeks. My wee girl currently can go 10 hours overnight with no feed, but will sometimes wake 1-2 times to feed. There’s no “normal” for what they need, it’s completely down to each individual baby
