My dc3 is 2.5 wks old. She was a big baby (9 12) but initially lost weight due to feeding issues. Tongue tie diagnosed and she's now been snipped - have also been topping her up with bottle as she couldn't latch properly. She's putting on lots of weight now. My issue is this: she's always slept well soft and simply doesn't wake much at night. I'm told by midwives/health visitors to wake her every 4 hrs for a feed at night given her age etc - but it's easier said than done; it can take an hour just to get her awake enough to feed properly...and is making me even more exhausted!
Given there is plenty of 'output' (wet and dirty nappies), should I leave it till she actually wakes up of her own accord? (And count my blessings...)
