Breastfeeding

3 mo old eating 6x a day - too abnormal?

My DD turned 3 months today and just finished her second week of daycare. She eats 6 times a day and I'm wondering how far from normal this is. She has been STTN for about 3 weeks now. She nurses at 6:20a, has 3 bottles at DC about 2.5 to 3 hours apart, nurses at 6p, the again around 7:30 to 8 or so. She then falls asleep and is out for the night.

 Her first two bottles are always BM, and her 3rd is sometimes formula (maybe 2 or 3 days a week). She has been drinking 5 ounce bottles of BM (and then formula), since she started DC. She had been taking 5 oz BM from DH during her middle of the night feed fairly consistently, even with a good burp break. At least at night I could pump that much. Right now I'm getting 10 to 11 oz pumping at work.

So ya, how close to normal is this? She is growing well, and should double her birth weight soon if she hasn't already.

 TIA.
