My newborn just turned 1-month old. I’ve been feeding her on demand, mostly every 2hrs. Will feed my expressed breast milk too at times. Depends on how much I can pump (usually between 50ml to 100ml). Breastfeeding is indeed tiring but have yet to start on formula. Will shower baby every morning after feed and wipe down in the evening. My baby needs to be rocked to sleep and have to make sure she falls into deep sleep before putting her down. Otherwise, she will fuss & cry and have to pat or carry her again. You do what suits best for you and baby. Lots of patience and most importantly, embrace parenthood! :)
start with maybe 40mls or lesser & see how much baby drinks, monitor for a couple of feedings the decide whether to increase or decrease amount. every baby is different if bf, feed on demand i bathe my lo only after cord dropped, all along sponge bath till it dropped then once every 2 days to prevent skin from drying out, newborns are generally pretty clean. i have never carried my lo to sleep, i put her in crib and let her self soothe as she prefers it that way & also offered soothie style pacifiers instead of flat ones
Thank you dear
