Hey moms, so my son was in the NICU for about a week and they had him on a schedule of eating every 3hrs etc but I always have to wake him to eat and he's like super fussing and never really go to sleep after.
So do you all think I should just let him wake himself up when he's hungry? Or should I continue to wake him every 3hrs?

@jasiahsmom, omg yes,I thought I was going to lose my mind. He kept me up from 1 am till 7 in the morning,thank god my husband took him in the morning and I got some sleep in
@carolinepinheiro, yeah I'm in the same boat with the him not falling back to sleep or he'll doze off and I lay him down and he's right back up
@mommiesaremagical14, I like the way you think! But yeah he was in the NICU but he wasn't premature or anything. So I'm definitely just gonna try the method of letting him let me know when he's hungry from here on out because it seems like he would sleep most of the night if I didn't disturb him.
I’m breastfeeding and I was waking him up to feed him but he’ll never fall back asleep. I’m trying the method of him letting me know when he’s hungry.
@jasiahsmom Yeah, he's not going to starve when he's hungry he'll let you know. If you feel like you want to let him tell you when he's hungry and let him sleep then you can go ahead and do that. Different people are going to tell you different things but ultimately as his mother it's your decision.
@mommiesaremagical14, yeah because my MIL say I should let him wake himself never wake them cs it only makes them cranky. Which I seem to be true because at night when I wake him when he's sleeping so good he keeps me up basically the rest of the night lol
@carolinepinheiro, yeah like I woke him to feed at 2am then he just says up til his next feeding at 5am I'm like okay kid maybe I shouldn't bother him
