I do hear about babies around the age yours is nursing every 3-4 hours, though that really amazes me. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net |

I think that babies *should* be feeding as often as they want to. I mean how
would you like it if you were thirsty and no one would let you have a drink? I have always feed DS on demand. This works out to be about every 2 hours during the day and about every 3-4 hours at night. He is currently 5 months old.

We were watching "Family Feud" yesterday, and one of the questions was "How many times a day does a mother feed a newborn baby?" (For non-USAians who aren't familiar, it's a game show. They survey 100 random people, and contestants have to guess the most popular answers given by those random people.) I yelled "12" at the TV. Turns out the most popular answer was 6. :P Phoebe |
