He's starting to go past 4 hrs....
« on: July 28, 2011, 19:25:17 pm »
BFing/EASY question here....

DS has started to have longer A times....2.5 hrs. But he's still taking a 2 hour nap. This makes his feeds go more like 4.5 hrs during the day, but we still have a 3.5 gap in the evening. Is this okay? Wondering if it's "okay" but also if I should be worried about my supply. I was having supply issues before....and have recently got back up and we've been doing okay in that area, but still a bit worried.

When I wake him at 4 hr mark, he's cranky.

We also haven't started solids.

Not sure about the supply issues, but I know we did a 4.5 hour EASY too, with a shorter one at the end right around your LO's age.  Although, you're still doing the same number of feeds, right?  So supply should be the same.  (I think!)

I wouldn't imagine it would be a problem since you're still doing the same number of feeds, but keep an eye and add a pumping session if you feel your supply is dropping.
But if you don't mind me asking: your LO can go 4.5hrs during the day but only 3.5hrs at night, is that right?

Yes, our feeds go:
4/4.5
4.5
3.5 (this usually is bc of how our routine is....if he waited until 4 hrs, it would be way past BT. But he does also seem pretty hungry at that feed time.)

And sometimes he naps might not be a full 2 hrs, in which case it would be more like a normal 4 HR EASY.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Supply is generally well established by this age and he's likely eating a similar number of oz, just at slightly different times.   You'll start solids fairly soon, I imagine, and then feed times will be all sorts of wonky!  ;)
