[quote=Anonymous]I didn't have any family help and didn't really need DH either. So my advice is to hang in there. Baby should start going longer between feedings soon. I never had sleep of only an hour between feedings, that seems extreme. I recorded baby wake times and I show 2-3 hour stretches normally, feeding 15 min between stretches. The best thing I did to get baby to sleep longer was to pump them up during the day. Long, long breastfeeding stretches. Once baby gains weight, they eat more and sleep longer. Can you go to bed at 8pm and your dh does a feeding until he goes to bed at 11pm or midnight? (My kids hated bottles, but so many moms have told me this is what they did)[/quote]
