Breastfeeding
Hi mamas, just wanted some advice from you all. My little one is 12 weeks old and still wakes every 2-2.5 hours for a feed. Can you tell me if this is normal as not experienced so many night wakes before with my first and I'm so tired! Your input is much appreciated.

I think it's individual to every baby, but I've been EBF for just over 4 months now and I'm quite fortunate that my LG has slept through from week 2. I've just made sure to keep my diet protein high, good fats and i eat oats every day, as I read somewhere this can help milk supply and the fatty, filling part of it, dont know how true this is. I do personally think if baby is waking its because they need it! I will also say my LG sometimes nurses for an hour and a half and feeds every 2 hours during the day, so as much as she sleeps through, I don't get much time to do anything sometimes! Youre doing great x

Part and parcel of a breast fed baby in my experience! We’ve managed to close the gap to 3.5 hours for the first stint at night but the rest of the night is about 1.5-2.5 hours. And during the day, he’s still every hour unless he’s napping on the go 🤦🏼♀️😅 it’s exhausting but you’ve got it mumma!
