My DD is 5wks today and EBF.
She's always cluster fed in the evenings for about 5hrs and this is followed by a long sleep. It used to be anything between 4-6hrs but for the last 3 nights, she's slept for 8hrs in a whole block.
No other causes for concern with her, plenty dirty and wet nappies, feeds plenty in the day, feels like she's gaining weight but just worried it might affect my supply.
A friend has also suggested I don't tell the HV as she'll want me to wake and feed her but as I'm feeding on demand surely that goes against that?
I'm reluctant to mess around with my supply if this won't be a problem, last time I changed how I fed her, I ended up engorged with too much milk, would really like to continue as I am doing as that is what my instinct is telling me to do but just worried as this is my first baby and don't want my supply o drop off.
This the 3rd time I've tried to post this today, hope it works this time!
