When hungry: At 2 months you should breast feed whenever they are hungry. This can be as often as every 90 min to 2 hours during the day and probably every 3 hours at night. As your child grows the time between feedings will lengthen. When they go thru a growth spurt you may notice an increase the amount of daily feedings again.

On demand: Feeding at 2 months should still be on demand. It will still be roughly every 2-4 hours.
