[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, we fed constantly and on cue durign the day, and he tanked up pretty well all day, so in those first few weeks he really was sleeping long long stretches - like 7 hours at night.  No books, just following his cues.

Forcing a newborn to go 4 hours between feeds is ridiculous and will probably lead to FTT, which is what happens with many Babywise babes, too.  It's abusive.

This. Mine would eat constantly during the day, usually 2 oz at the time. Usually every hour and half! Then, she would go to bed at 7pm, wake up at 10:30 to eat, wake up at 3am and then wake up between 7 and 8am.

I realize it is not a single 12 hours stretch, but her 10:30 and 3am she would immediately go back to sleep... so, it didn't feel strenuous.

By 12 weeks she was not waking up at 3am anymore. And she went on drinking only 2oz at the time for almost the whole first year. I remember people here on DC Urban Mom saying there was something wrong with her and it was normal for a 7m old only drink 2oz at the time... :roll:
