    Mason is 12 weeks old.
    He eats about every 2 hours during the day; at night he may go 3-4 hours.
    He is BF with usually one 3-4 ounce bottle of formula a day.
    He sleeps anywhere from 2-3 hours at night at a time, with an occasional 4-hour sleep session. He's usually in bed around 9 pm and gets up for the day around 8 am.

    I'm glad I asked. Sounds like Rachel is similar to the other BF babies.

    She is 2.5 months old.
    She eats about every 2 hours during the day. At night, she sleeps anywhere from 3 to 7 hours, up to eat, then sleeps another couple hours, up to eat, maybe sleeps another hour, then up for the day.

    How old is your baby(babies)? Almost 3 1/2 months
    Sleeping through the night? Yes - from about 8 pm to 7 am, but occasionally we have middle of the night wake-ups.
    How often do they eat? It varies - sometimes every 2-3 hours, sometimes as often as every hour during the day for a few hours at a time. I would like to encourage a more regular schedule, especially since I'm now starting back to work, but it also seems to me like she might just be hungry during the day since she goes so long without eating at night.
    Formula/BM/both? BM only, starting today getting expressed breast milk during the day while I'm at work and nursing when I'm home.

    How often does your baby/ies eat during the day? 6 to 7

    BF, formula, or both? just formula, they were BF until 5 weeks and then I gave up. My milk never came in good (I was only getting 1 ounce when I pumped, and that was a good pumping)

    Sleeping through the night? Z sleeps through the night consistantly. G not so much. He sleeps usually to about 3am, eats and then goes back to bed until 7:30 or so. He has slept through the night a few times though.
