Poll – How often does your 0-3 month old breastfeed?

This may or may not work, it’s difficult because every baby is different.

If you answer the questions please can you choose the answer closest to the choices, on average, and if there is nothing anywhere near how you feed in the choice please can you leave a comment below. I realise that fitting into the answers is difficult but it will be much easier to see results if you can try to.

If this works I’ll do it again for babies of different ages.

If you can think of a better way to do it please leave a comment.

The aim is to show that there is no ‘normal’, that all babies are different and to provide some reassuring data for mums who worry that their babies are not ‘normal’. It always makes me feel better when I know other mums have the same experience as me.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

  • I did a test vote using the other option which I won’t count when we get results in. (Lisa)

    Same as Sam which is why I went for something different. He’s only 3 weeks old but there’s no telling what he’ll want day or night. I just go with what he wants, plan for the unexpected (ie give myself double the time to do any task), use a sling and bedshare. We have a very happy and contented little baby boy and parents who are very chilled as well.

  • Pretty much every 5 minutes, so that counts as every hour in the poll.

    I went for every couple of hours including through the night, but that is the average as my one month old will feed more often in the evening.

    I answered for both my boys… DS1 fed every 3-4 hours, same through the night, for up to 1/2hours at a time. DS2 fed every 2 hours for 15/20mins, then clustered for 1-2 hours before bed and would sleep for 4 hours. Totally different!
