Night feeds

My baby is 10 weeks and is still waking up every 2ish hours to eat during the night, leading to 3 or 4 feeds at night. Anybody else or is my baby just crazy?? The longest stretch we’ve gone has been 5 hours - he will sleep really well one night and then the next night it’s back to waking every 2 hours or so.

Im ebf and my baby does the same. She is 11 weeks, 1 day.

My LO is the same age and EBF too and the hours are the same.

My baby is 11 weeks and does anywhere from 2-4 hour stretches over night. Never sure which he will pick

My baby was doing that too till I started feeding her every 2-3 hours during the day. Even if she was napping, I'd wake her up to feed. Now, she only wakes up once at night. She eats 4 oz of bottled breastmilk

Mine is ebf and is the same 2-4 hour stretches at night. I’m tired girl lol but whatever she needs

I’m no help with my newest edition but my 4 year old was that way constantly till he was almost one then he only woke up once and even now occasionally wakes up in the middle of the night. I wish I could give advice but we just kinda had to ride the rollercoaster with him😭

Mine does this too BUT since I started making sure he is really full every time I feed him throughout the day, and I let him nurse a long time before bed, it seems to help. I was making the mistake of assuming he was done as SOON as he stopped actively sucking. Now I encourage him to keep going. He used to nurse for like ten minutes, now it takes 20-30. But he goes longer stretches between.
