How long is everyone going between feeds when EBF? My daughter is 4 months and I’m still feeding every 2 hours and just wondering if I can start to stretch it out a bit? She will not take a bottle at all and I’m desperate to leave her with dad for longer 😅

I'm breastfeeding still, so this is a surprise, just wanted to know what the signs are and if it will be normal. My period before I got pregnant was on time each month and only lasted 4 days each cycle.
