Do you have to feed newborns the recommended every 2 to 3 hours or can it be whenever baby shows their hungry?? Cuz we’re still in the hospital and they want every 2 to 3 hours but my daughter hasn’t been doing that. Only when she wants and it makes me feel like she’s no eating right and I’m feeling bad about it. I’m scared she won’t be eating enough

i felt the same way when i was still in the hospital! when she wouldn’t take the boob they had me pump and they used a syringe and she gave it to her that way. don’t stress momma the nurses are there to guide you with feeding and alll that while you and baby are adapting to everything! if you feel like she isn’t getting enough talk to your nurse and she’ll assure you and also keep an eye on it, at least that’s what mine did. once you get the hang of it you’ll know your baby and feel MUCH BETTER.

Your baby's stomach is still TINY she doesn't need very much at all. It's the size of a Walnut at 3 days old, so it's okay that she isn't eating much. She will gradually pick it up, there's no need to force it unless she's going several hours without anything. Ask your nurse to confirm, but this sounds pretty normal to me.

You need to get a liquid syringe and force a couple ounces into her then. Newborns have to learn the bottle just like they would the breast. Meanwhile just get some milk into her.

Get someone knowledgeable to show you how to syringe feed if you don't know how.

Idk what to do because she hasn’t eaten since 7:30 pm and she’s refusing to take the bottle

Depends if she's making enough diapers. If she's making one about every hour she is eating enough.

I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

lillyb Good job giving ur self a break we all need them. See if maybe she will nurse
delete____ I have to commend you for stepping away, momma!! Everyone reacts to a child screaming differently and
imisssleep123456789 Ugh I remember those days. With both kids I decided to always top them off with formula.

Lol I’m not getting it..

My 8 week old daughter still eats every 2 hours and sometimes she want to eat after 1.5 hours. What can I do??

Also, she is breastfed and doesn't take pacifiers

mimibaby I think it's ok to feed on demand if it's breastmilk.
jcblake11 @adaline0914, yes I would feed on demand.
adaline0914 Thank you! @steph11 @mimibaby @jcblake11
