milk feeding
hi mummy, i was suppose to give milk to my newborn every 3hr , what if my baby cry n wanted milk half an hr early? shld i give or let baby cry until it reach the feeding time?
I started with feeding whenever my LO cries. Then he became super fat. Realised after a few weeks that his cries may be him fussing due to him being tired or uncomfortable. So now I'll use timing as a gauge. EBM about 2 hrs interval, FM about 3 hours interval. If he cries too early (more than 15 min), I'll carry, soothe and check his feeding cues (touch his mouth). If he display hunger cues, I'll just feed. If not, I'll try to distract him and feed nearer to the interval timings. Not sure if this is the right way, but as long as LO is gaining weight at the acceptable rate, I think any method is fine. :) Good luck! (2 month old mommy)
