Waking them up?
Hi mommies, do u wake up newborn up for feeds? Or just let them sleep until they wake up and demand for one? Because I’m worried about my LO sleeping more then the specified hours newborns sleep before they cry for milk.
I have 4 kids and 3 of them sleep throughout and will only wake up to feed. Don't worry too much as long as your baby is gaining weight (weight will decrease in the first few weeks and it's normal)
I wake up newborn for feeds for about a month since she was underweight. Afterwards it's fine to let them sleep as long as they can
How do u wake them up effectively
depends on weight gain. if healthy weight gain, let baby sleeps. if not gaining enough weight, should feed every 3h
if jaundice, have to wake the baby and feed milk every 2 to 3h
breast milk is easy to digest. depends on baby. it can be 2 to 3h. if baby has jaundice, have to feed more milk
Yeah she has jaundice so tends to be more sleepy so I tried waking her up but it’s so hard to continue latching her cus she just falls asleep again
the longest i drag is 4hr then i feed my newborn already if not my baby usually wake at 2hr + 3
I'll just follow baby's queue. they will wake when they are hungry
But she don’t really wake up cause of jaundice
follow baby's cue. feed on demand don't wake baby up
But she has jaundice which makes her very sleepy and she’s not getting enough feed which causes her to be quite dehydrated
Excited to become a mum
