My daughter will be a month old on the 18th and she still sleeps like crazy. For hours at a time she will sleep and I feel like she needs to eat but I don't want to wake her up to eat so idk what to do. I don't want her to go without eating.
Wake to feed every three hours during the day and let her go at night as long as she's up to birthweight and no weight concerns from pedi.
it could mean she's dehydrated. .. I know a lot of mom say" let them sleep" but I say that's selfish. it's good for the mom for the baby to sleep but it's not what is good for the baby. Ladies have to understand that all a baby eats is liquids! babies need to feed regularly ESPECIALLY newborns. you have to wake them up to eat, they'll usually fall right back to sleep with a full tummy.
I'd let her sleep so you can catch up. she'll wake when she's hungry. look for her feeding cues while she's sleeping, too. but she's gaining and I'm assuming having 6 wet diapers a day?
she was 6.6 when she was born and I had her weighed Thursday and she was 7.5 @_akgirl
She's been sleeping A TON the last few days and when she's not asleep she is screaming bloody murder. I'm so worried something may be wrong. I took her to the Dr. on Thursday and he said she looked great but I'm still worried @mssjudyk
