Hi all,
6wk old baby girl, breast feeding quite well although a little lazy. She seems to average about 3hrs between feeds, and sleeps well post feeding at night.
would like to stretch her to 4hrs if possible during the night, the day is fine.
For example last night fed at 10.30 - 1.15 - 3 - 5.15 - not really hitting the 3hr mark hich is exhausting.
Also I express a bottle 4 one of the night feeds and she only takes about 50mls then starts gagging. Is this enough? Should she be taking more? I know a formula fed baby wld have about 90mls, 50mls seems a little to little.
She is just over 4 kilos.
Any examples of your routines and ideas for helping her stretch out night feeds?
thanks
