Hate feeding on demand

7 weeks old is just too young to have a schedule.. my baby used to sleep 4-5 hours in the night when she was 7-8 weeks old but still would require to be fed frequently during the day. She is 4 months old now and she needs a feed every 3-3.5 hours now.

My boy used to be such a lazy feeder. He’d feed for around 10 minutes then fall asleep on the boob. An hour later he was screaming again for more. I started to pump and introduced a bottle and he’d guzzle the whole 4-5oz and then not want any more for Atleast 3 hours, mainly he’ll go to 4 hours. When I do feed him on the boob now he has longer feeds as I think he’s got used to having a fuller belly. Then he’ll doze off very happily for around 4 hours. He’s 5 weeks now. Every now and again he’ll wake up after an hour or two and just want a bit of comfort feeding on the boob, 5 mins and he’s back down for a couple of hours. It’s made everything a lot easier for us x

You can totally do a schedule. That schedule still might be every couple hours but you can totally do it. We had to use bottles and formula and I think my son fed every 2 hours so start doing that and see how it goes. It might need to be more frequent or might need to be more time inbetween. But you can totally starts doing a schedule
