how often do your LO's feed in the day?

zach has started sleeping through the night now ( ) so he goes midnight until 8am with no feeds.
it's now 5pm, and he's only fed 3 times today! once when he got up about 8, then about midday, then 1ish. is this normal? i've noticed him dropping off the odd feed over the past week or so, but that doesn't seem like whole lot?

when Josh was Zach's age, he would have fed every 2 hours or even more but then he has always been a hungry monster and still even after weaning early and him being on 3 meals a day as well as about 8 or so breastfeeds, he still only sleeps from 12am - 6am if i'm lucky.

Kai is similar to Zach during the night, going from 9pm - 5.30am without a feed, then again sleeping to 8-9ish. During the day however he feeds quite a lot, I'd say every 2-3 hours, sometimes less. Then again every baby is different, especially with breastfeeding I think everything is considered normal. As long as he seems happy, I'm sure he is getting enough milk! I suppose hes just letting you know how much he needs. I remember reading somewhere that its quite common for babies to start going longer between feeds around two months.

Seems like your both doing great and yay on Zach sleeping through

I think at around Zach's age Tamzin started getting into a feeding routine and was having around 5 breastfeeds a day and sleeping from 9pm til 7am
