Waking for a feed (formula)

[Mummy2925]

Baby no. 2 is the opposite to their sibling as I’m having to wake them to feed them.

they were slightly jaundice when leaving the hospital so was told to feed every 3 hours , I’m wondering how long do I keep this up for ?

my first cried for feeds but not this baby 😅
they are 16days old now and having 3/4oz feeds, every 3 hours. Now they will cry the old time for a feed but mostly won’t.

last night I slept through my alarm and they went 4.5hours when I woke them to feed them and woke them again 3 hours later.

Similar here. I fed every 3-4 hours until they were back to birth weight, then I let her wake me x

If they are back to birth weight and at least 7lb I would let them go as long as they want between feeds at night and then keep a more consistent 3 hrly schedule during the day to get as many calories in when its daylight so to speak, which will then in turn keep the longer stretches between feeds for over night

I would second all of this.
