Newborn breastfeeding

[EmW78]

My dd is coming up for 3 days old and doesn't seem to want to feed very often - should I worry and/or try to persuade her somehow? The midwives in the hospital were adamant that she shouldn't go more than 4 hours between feeds, so I should wake her up for a bit of skin-to-skin and get her to feed even if she hasn't asked for it, but it's nigh-on impossible to get her to go for it. Shouldn't I have just left her sleeping (and been grateful she lets me have more than 2 hours kip at a time)?!
I know they'll check her weight and everything in a couple of days, so is the only real concern the stuff about my boobs needing the activity in order to get the milk supply to work?

Don't worry about posting in the 'wrong' place - it's just that in Breast and Bottle Feeding there are some couple of breastfeeding counsellors who often give very good advice (and know whereof they speak, obviously).

Sounds like you're both doing well now, anyway!

Em, it sounds like you're both doing well now! Well done for getting through this worrying bit (there'll be plenty more )

My dd is 3 weeks old now and its only the fact that I've done the newborn thing 3 times before that makes me (a little) more relaxed about things but I still wouldn't hesitate to call the doc or midwife if something didn't "feel right" . I'd still rather over-react than under-react if you get me.

Good luck
