Because although I bf ds for 18mo, he was tube-fed EBM to start, so I'm not quite sure what's expected...
DD was born on Weds lunchtime (cs), had her first feed just over an hour later. She fed a few times through the first afternoon and evening - maybe 6 or so - then went quite a long spell through the night, about 5hrs, without feeding, though I offered the breast every time she stirred. That seems to have been the pattern since, apart from a feeding frenzy of 4 hrs on night 2, when she was barely off the breast.
As a rule, she has spells where she feeds for a long time (30-60mins) and quite frequently (every 1-2 hrs), then a longish sleepy period of up to 6hrs where she refuses - not with crying, she just nuzzles and goes to sleep. Sometimes she latches, has 4 or 5 sucks, then goes to sleep, but she's definitely getting proper feeds too.
Saw the midwife today and dd has lost a little weight, though not 10%. Midwife said these long spells of no feeding were unusual, but might just be dd's "special style". She's not dehydrated, is weeing, pooing, etc, so I think I prob shouldn't be worried, but I would rather know if there was something I should be doing now to get her to be feeding more often.
