My son is 2 weeks 2 days old and sometimes he will go 45 minutes between feedings, sometimes 2 hours, but never longer than 2.5 or 3 hours between. Our pedi said it's completely normal because they usually go through a growth spurt around 2 weeks.
As long as he is having enough wet/dirty diapers a day, he is getting enough.

ETA: It can be really frustrating sometimes, and my nipples are still super sore, but I try to think about it as the more he eats, the more supply I will have, and the quicker my nipples will toughen up! (hopefully)

Oh yeah. I got nothing done the first few months.. Even now I barely get anything done at 7 months but I think he's just having some separation anxiety.

Quoting Tom's wife & Emma's mommy:" Are you putting nipple cream on ? I <3 the Medela tender care brand . "
I've been using the Lansinoh Lanolin cream.. have you found the Medela to work better?? I've been breastfeeding for two weeks now and am still having pain, even using the Lansinoh after every feeding.

I was using the Lansinoh that they gave me in the hospital, but I feel like I have to use more of it , with the Mesela It's a bit thicker and seems to work a little better for me .
