Number of feeds

How many times are you all feeding your babies per day? I see guidance that says it should be 6-8 at this point but I'm responsively breastfeeding and my girl asks to be fed up to 14 times a day still!

I'm averaging about 12 feeds a day. Some days could be 16 some days 10. Never really any less than 10

My LO was doing about 10 feeds a day but has now decided to about 14/15 and he is 9 weeks old.

We’re at around 8 at the moment. My LO is a very high percentile though and takes big feeds.

Sounds like a perfectly normal amount. I don't count our feeds anymore so I don't know how many per day

Between 9 and 12 usually. I think 12 is better as I noticed mine sleeps better those nights.

Haha we tracked 23 x 5 minute feeds the other day! Now back to a more sensible 13-16 feeds… but yeah, short/snacks here! 🙈

I couldn't tell you! It varies day to day because she's EBF. So far today though she's fed at 5.30 am, 8.45 am, 11am, 12pm, and then been switching been boobs since 1.30 and we are now on 2.15pm. So 6 times already. I imagine before bedtime we could be anything up to another 6-8 feeds. Maybe less.

Mine was doing 7 and was set at this but last 3-4 days she’s having 8, she never finishes a whole bottle though xx
