how often should I feed my 1 week old I feed her every 3 hours but some times she's so asleep she doesn't want to get up and eat and some times she gets up right on time to eat. when she's really sleeping and it's time to feed her it's hard to wake her up should I just let her sleep?
As long as baby is feeding a minimum of 8 times a day and producing enough pees then don't worry! ♡♡♡
@meli2890 that's a relief I be so tired waking up to feed her and then trying to wake her up. I need catch up on so many hours thank you.
yea let your baby sleep mines less then a week old I'm definitely not waking him up if he's been sleeping for more than 3 hours maybe i will in the day but at night hell no lol we need rest
@sidanddelos15 OK thank you I know I will be messaging you soon about something lol.
i am always posting questions. you can message me anytime. I am always with my phone lol. i know being a ftm is overwhelming. I had the support team of nicu nurses for the first 7 and a half weeks of my son's life.
@sidanddelos15 OK thank you I'm a ftm and just want to do everything right as possible. I know ppl are probably getting tired of seeing me post questions lol.
@eryka616 she hasn't been checked since we left the hospital and she only lost 2 Oz they said.
yes ma'am. get some rest. she will let you know when she needs you i promise @asianae16
@sidanddelos15 she's only a week old so i should just let her wake up on her own to eat then? that would be more rest for me.
i was told to never wake a sleeping baby to eat. the baby knows the nutrients and when they are hungry. i know that most parents set schedules and i apologize if you are. im not bad mouthing them. i just feel that it is better to let the baby call the shots until they are old enough to understand change and how to follow something.
Unless doctor tells you the baby isn't gaining weight then you don't have to wake them to feed

I'm so depressed my child cries more than she doesnt..The only time she's not crying is when she's alsleep.. but she only sleeps 30 minutes each time. she won't sit in her carseat, her crib, pack n play , her swing, bouncer nothing!!! I have to hold ger 24/7 even when she's sleeping or else she will wake up. I'm tired I don't get any sleep nothing soothes her I don't even remember the last time I had enough time to bathe :'( I love her so much but this is so challenging

Should I be concerned?
My baby is going to be 8 weeks on Thursday and she's been sleeping all night. I feed her at 9:00pm and then she falls asleep shortly after she's done eating and then she sleeps all night. I have to wake her up at 7:30am to feed her. She's EBF. She eats every 2-3 hours during the day. Should I be worried she's sleeping too much or just consider myself lucky?
I need some help! First time Mom to almost a four-month-old on Sunday. I need some help with sleep training I'm not really sure how to do it. What books do you recommend? So this is her schedule.

Eat play go on a walk eat more down for a nap at one 1:30 till three. Go back to sleep at 7 p.m. . Now she's been going to bed around 5 at night sleeping till 12 for f...
I was always told to wake the baby to eat the first couple of weeks to help your milk supply regulate. I would let my baby sleep tho. Not too long. Like everyone said before me, plenty of wet diapers is a good indicator that she's getting enough.
