DD is 3 days old today EBF which seems ok in so far we have plenty of wet nappies and she's settled but we haven't had a dirty nappy in 24 hours should i be worried?
She's fed every 3 hrs through the night with good latch and i've got plenty of milk. She was quite unsettled yesterday afternoon with i think colic, rubbing her tummy eased it and she passed lots of wind both ends. But she's been settled since 0030, fed 3 times and is settled each time after feeding for 20-40 mins a time, does it sound normal to you?

It all sounds perfectly normal to me but if you are worried, mention it to your midwife on her next visit. Congratulations on your DD!x

When is the midwife next seeing you? It's probably absolutely fine but worth mentioning to her just in case.

I found this page on kellymon really useful. The only thing is I found waking a newborn up every 2 hours is a bit extreme. I waited for 3ish hours to wake her.

Thanks for the advice, straight after posting, we had a dirty nappy, so i've relaxed a bit now. Mw coming again tomorrow. Expecting a call from breast feeding advisor at some point, but i think things are ok, boobs getting a bit tender as my milk comes in but nothing major.
