Gaining weight?: Has you daughter had her two week visit with the pediatrician? Is she gaining weight well? As long as your daughter is gaining weight well, it is okay for her to go a little bit longer between feedings at times. If she is normally eating every 3 hours then the occasional longer stretch is fine (I wouldn't expect her to go more than 4-5 hours without a feeding at this age). Follow her lead.
