First of all, please don't hate me or think I'm gloating.... this is a genuine question! After DD1 who was a non-sleeper and constant feeder, I'm a bit bemused to find DD2 going for quite long periods between feeds at night time. Last night she went for 7 hours between feeds. Do you think this is OK for a 3-week-old? She is a big chubby baby, so my instinct is to just make the most of the sleep, but is this OK?? I thought they needed to feed every 3 or 4 hours??
Sorry if this is very stupid question!
