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

Yes it does get better definitely! Hang in there.. These 3hourly feeds will slowly become 3.5hr, 4hr and even longer as your baby grows.. Try to nap the moment you are done with feeding and when your baby sleeps. Would it be possible to ask for help for someone to come over? They could help with a feed so you can have a longer stretch of nap. One gooood sleep will make you feel much better..

Thanks a lot Mel for your kind reply. Yes my husband is very very helpful and he is up with me during feeds which is very helpful as I don’t feel alone. Sometimes when I am too tired, we decide to give bottle so that feeding is done quickly and I can sleep after that. Can I please ask from what week or month the sleeping durations get longer ? Currently he is 8 weeks old
