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

Hi! My baby is also 8 weeks old. She currently sleeps 4-5 hours at night. Initially was 3 hours then slowly gets longer so we only feed when she wakes & demands for it. I do not latch at night, I bottle feed. And occasionally give FM at night feed (4am feed) cause it’s much faster. Hang it there babe. Totally understand your struggles as I’m tired allll day. But i keep telling myself it will get better. Jiayou!
