How do you time feeds?

For example if you say my baby feeds every 3 hours, do you time the feed from the start or the end?

Like if your baby started their feed at 12 and finished it at half past 12, would you say they're due their next feed at 3 or half past 3?

(Obviously going by baby's cues first and foremost, but I just wasn't sure how to actually time it, especially for longer feeds)

I don't time it at all. I just feed him when he asks for it. Feed lengths vary too. So I just go with the flow 🫠 xx

What would you consider to be normal language levels for a 1.5 year old?

My 1.5 year old has about 15 words and I’m worried this is not enough.
