DS is six weeks old. Steadily gaining 8-9 ounces each week, progressing nicely on the 25th centile line. Lost 4.6% birth weight by day 5 and gaining since then. EBF going very well.
Mentioned to HV that this past fortnight he's stopped waking daily between 11-4 am and she said that's extremely concerning. I should never have let this happen,they need feeding at least three hourly and I should wAke him up at night in that give hour block by setting an alarm clock.
So I mentioned my supply seems fine, he is steadily gaining 8-9 oz each week and I'm full at 4 am but nothing too much. She said if you wake him he would have the chance to hit 50 centiles instead go staying along 25 centiles.
Does this sound tight advice given the context?
