How to manage night feedings with newborn ?

Hi Mummies, I am a first time mom and I have a 8 weeks old baby boy. I want to ask how are other mummies managing the night feedings? Do you latch every 3 hrs or give bottles for night feeds ? Currently I get up every 3 hrs at night to feed and it is very tiring :( Does this get better ? #firsttimemom #firstbaby #pleasehelp

It is pretty normal for start baby will wake up every few hours. They will have a sleeping pattern, milk pattern change every month/few months. My first child wakes up every 3 hrs. Indeed it is tiring but that's her feeding pattern. For some, they will give bottle feed to make sure baby's full. But depends on individual. For me, I direct latch my first child unless in the morning ill alternate with bottle feed. She's a heavy milk drinker. So ill makesure ill sleep/nap in the afternoon when she sleep too. Meanwhile, for my second child she only wake up once even now that she's 3 months old.
