Hi,
I became a mum for the first time 2 weeks ago today, and she's been a mostly very easy baby. My husband & I are worried about her behaviour as whenever she's awake, she seems to think its feeding time, even if she's just been fed half an hour previous. We have tried other things to try & comfort her, such as talking to her, singing to her and cuddling her but she just keeps sucking her hands and banging her head up & down off our shoulders ( indicating she wants food). It's very warm where we are at the moment, so perhaps she is dehydrated a little and so looking to feed more, but I'm afraid of over feeding her as she suffers from wind quite regularly ( as any newborn usually does!) and sometimes spits up a big chunk of her feed. She also has a bit of the sniffles at the moment, so I'm not sure if that's contributing to things.
She's breasted, a good feeder ( I have a good latch too), and tends to feed every 2-4 hours, but sometimes if she falls asleep at the end of the first breast, she'll wake 30 mins to an hour later looking for the second, so sometimes she's feeding 1 breast every hour, but for the most part, she's feeding every 2 hours the last few days, and I've been having to drag out the time between some of those feeds so she makes its to 2 hours. Any tips or advice would be appreciated, as I'm afraid that in starving her, and at the sane time I'm afraid I'm overfeeding her!
