My baby is now 9 weeks old.
He’s a quiet baby and has never really given off clear hunger cues at night so we’ve always had to set alarms and wake him/guess.
This isn’t ideal as we know it should be baby led and once we get him up to change him if we’ve left him with a gap of 3-4 hours he’s usually hungry (very hungry if we leave it 4 hours).
I worry that he’ll never get into a natural rhythm and we’ll never know when we can start leaving longer gaps between feeds. Also, that he might be giving off subtle hunger cues and I just sleep through them!!
Has anyone had this and how can we get him to wake us for feeds instead of the other way around? I should add, there are enough wet and dirty nappies. He’s 9th centile so on the smaller side but following the line.
Thank you!
