newborn sleep
re-edited as my msg wasn't clear previously rest assured ive been feeding my newborn on a 2-3 hourly interval. however my newborn keeps waking up and cry during this 3 hr befr the next feeding, any ways to make them sleep thruout these 3 hours w/o crying?
Feed baby based on their cry cues! I learnt this the hard way as i was previously too rigid on the feeding and only insisted on feeding baby at the 3 hour mark. I now swear by the cry cues and feed milk after learning her cry sounds which you can tell after a while, or by process of elimination- is she crying due to sleepy, poop/pee or hungry. Realised that my baby cries less now because she ‘trust’ me that i understand her needs when she let a small cry. So i think feeding based in cues instead of timing (your baby is not a machine) lets you understand your baby more and build that trust with baby that her needs are met when she ‘talks’ to you!
