Feeding time..

A new parent here whose baby is one month 9 days old. May I know for feeding time at night, was told by the hospital that I have to wake baby up every 3hrs for feeding, so if baby’s sleeping pattern is getting longer eg sleep for 4-6hrs at one go instead of waking up crying for milk every 3hr interval, should I still wake him up to feed? If yes, when should I stop waking him up for feeding? Thanks..

I engaged my confinement nanny from PEM. She told me during first month for NB is very important. Feeding every 3 hours or according to their hungry cues. but if LO is sleeping, wake up to feed if LO still sleeping more 4 hours.

Hi Pauline. That’s good ur baby is sleeping longer at night! Mine used to wake up every 2 hrs to feed. You don’t have to wake up your baby. Let your baby sleep through. Just feed once she/ he is awake :)

If baby can sleep at night, let him sleep:) Ensure he gets enough milk during waking hours.

If your baby doesn’t have jaundice you don’t have to wake him up !

If your baby is not jaundiced, then it's okay to let him sleep :)

Let him sleep, feed when he's awake
