3 week old DS feeds every two hours. Completely normal. DD was a bit less ferocious in her day with every 3 hours or so.
My mother visited yesterday and claimed my DSis and I were fed 4 hourly from birth, 15 minutes per side.
How on earth did she get us to do that? I have to desire to replicate it. I'm just curious. DS would just scream until I fed him if I left him longer?
I asked my Mum how she got us to do this and she got defensive saying it was the advice she was given (accept that, wasn't judging) and then went off on some tangent about her milk was obviously better than mine (standard with my mother I'm afraid).
Just really curious as to how a 4 hourly routine was achieved. It seems so far from what my DCs have naturally wanted to do.
