At the hospital they said to feed baby every 3 hours. My little man's a month and 2 days old now and I've started to find that he doesn't want to settle again after I wake him up during the night for a feed. I wake him up every 3 hours but he doesn't always drink much and then he'll be hungry again in an hours time. So, what I'm wondering, is do I just let him wake for a feed whenever he wants it? Or do I try waking him up every 4 hours instead? He's good at letting me know when he's hungry but I'm worried about him getting dehydrated if I don't wake him every 3 hours during the night!! Thanks in advance.
