T is 12 weeks old and will be 3 months on Wednesday (FOR REAL? It seems like just last week I was crying to HB because I couldn't take the false labor anymore!). He only nursed 5 times today. That...

I don't think you should be worried. If you are really concerned, you can take him to your pedi for a weight check and they can tell you how much he should have per day. Dd is a week older I think-she...

doesn't sound like you should be worried! As long as he is gaining appropriately.

To me it sounds fine if all signs are good that he is growing - and if you're able to pump what he needs when separated. Typical intake is about 20-30 oz per day, if he's feeding 5x and nursing both...

If he's gaining weight, producing enough wet and dirty diapers, and happy then don't worry about it! Easier said than done though. :heart:

When you are together, how far apart are the feedings? I agree with the others that if he has enough wet diapers and is gaining you are probably fine.

If you offer more will he eat?

@Foodnerd81: Every 3 hours. Sometimes more if he takes a long nap. @Greentea: Not usually!

If he's gaining weight, has plenty of wet/dirty diapers, appears to be thriving and such, I wouldn't be worried. Your milk may also be fattier and more filling, so he may not need to nurse a bunch if...

@Danizaur: my ped told us to wake lo in the day to eat every two hours. I would talk to yours if you have concerns.

@Danizaur: how often is your LO weighed?

@Anagram: Just at dr appts. We weigh him sometimes at home but not often.

And is his weight gain normal, on the low side, on the high side?I don't think STTN is ever necessarily an indication of how well a baby is eating during the day. I've now had a friend (and there was...

@Danizaur: sounds like our schedule. we were down to 5 or 6 feeds by 3 months and that stayed the same until we fully introduced solids.

@Anagram: it's normal. He's on the low side of normal but his ped said all was good at his last appt which was April 25th. We're going to weigh him this evening and make sure. Thanks for the info....

Sounds totally fine to me! We were down to 6 feedings at that age, but occasionally we'd only do 5!

Google the breastfeeding magic number. It talks about the number of times each mom needs to nurse in a 24 hr period but explains that it's different for each mom

@Danizaur: I would think every three hours is pretty normal- that's about where we were for a long time- but c was still waking up at night too. Maybe check back with the ped but sounds fine to me.

Sounds okay as long as he is gaining weight and having enough wet and dirty diapers a day. If you're concerned and want to do an extra feeding during those long naps or even MOTN, maybe you can wake...
