How do I stop my 10 week old baby from snack feeding during the day?

Hello!

My son is 10 weeks old and during the day he wants to feed every 2 hours. How do I stop the snack feeding so he goes back to 4 hour feeds?

this could be normal and they move on from this soon. otherwise speak with a local child and family health nurse who can give you specific strategies to help.

Try to make sure he’s getting the hind milk. Make him feed for longer, even try hand expressing a little into his mouth for encouragement. If he’s feeding that regularly he might not be emptying you.

It’s entirely normal for infants to feed that frequently. I know it’s exhausting but just go with it. It won’t be forever x

I wouldnt call it snack feeding. At 10 weeks old babies like to be fed and it could be a growth spurt or cluster feeding. My bub is the same she use to eat every 5 hours now its between 2 and 4 hours and mucu more frequent during the night.
