My DD is 4 weeks old. She is EBF and I express and breastfeed. She normally feeds 8 X a day. She's gaining weight albeit quite slowly as had a tongue tie which wasn't diagnosed for 10 days. She was 7lb3oz at birth.
She's now started following the 'routine' which she's got herself into...is this ok? Or do I need to wake her still?
8-9am - feed
11.30-12.30 - feed
2.30 - EBF bottle (110ml)
5pm - feed and usually top up of Expressed milk
7.30-feed
Then a it of cluster feeding in the evening sometimes (every day different)
10.30/11pm - 110ml expressed bottle
5am - feed
So she sleeps from approx 11.30-5am straight. I know I shouldn't be complaining...DD1 used to wake every two hours but is this ok now at 4wks? I woke her every 3-4hrs until 2 weeks and then she's just started doing this longer sleep at night so I'm not sure?
