Changing up 4 week old feeding times?

4 replies

My DD has been having 2-2.5 oz every 2-3 hours, if she gets to 3 hours without waking then I wake her up to feed. Yesterday I tried letting her go 4 hours a couple of times and letting her wake up for a feed. She seems more settled doing this and drinks 4oz.

Should I continue with this or keep waking her to feed?

If there are no concerns over weight gain, I'd let baby sleep and just feed when they wake.

That's one of my concerns is that I've had no HV visits so I'm trying to weigh her myself but it's obviously not very accurate and I'm not sure what's a good weight for her...

If she is past birth weight id wait until she wakes

Plot her weight in her red book - if she's following the curve she's likely fine.
