[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you waking him up to eat? Unless weight is an issue, that is one stupid thing to do.[/quote]

OP here. The pediatrician advised us to wake him if he goes more than 3 hours between feedings during the day. He often wakes up on his own crying and mad because he’s hungry. I don’t wake him at night. [/quote]

breastfeeding newborns need to be fed every 3 hours. it is what it is. mom also needs to nurse, to keep her milk coming in.

hang in there! just like everyone says, it will get better.

i had a really rough time of the newborn phase. we had to triple feed, baby was a preemie. ugh. it was so demoralizing and i was SO tired.

but, four years on, i kinda wish i would have been just a teeny more present. a teeny more patient. DS is four now and wont sit still for anything! i kinda almost miss when it was just us and snuggles all the time.

you are doing a great job, mama![/quote]

Formula fed babies too. Newborns eat frequently at this age - every 2-3 hours - whether breast or bottle. They eat so little at a time that they need to eat often. I found it helped my baby eat their calories during the day and sleep longer at night. [/quote]
