Night feeds

Am 3 weeks post c section today , my lb he wakes up 3-4 hours last night was hard tho went up t bed at 10pm he was asleep since 9 he woke up at half 12 for a bottle n then woke up at 3 and wouldn’t go bck sleep til half 6 then my lg woke up at 7 so had t get up with her n he finally fell bck asleep til 9 then

Once back to birth weight, I won’t be waking our little one

@Beth we have been waking her every 3 hours as she wasn't putting the weight on but now she has gone past her birth weight, how much formula do you give x

@Tiffany we used to wake her every 4 hours but then she wasn't putting weight on so was told to wake her every 3 hours but she has put the weight back on now x

If she’s put the weight back on, I wouldn’t wake her and see how she gets on! She may wake herself when she’s hungry some nights and not others! My first was like that We’re only 4 days pp atm and currently 10% below birth weight so a way off but will do the same and just not wake overnight, and only feed if they wake :)

3 weeks pp too! So far every night is so different! Some nights hardly wakes & we have to wake him up every 3-4 hours (due to weight loss). Lately going through a cluster feeding stage and will sometimes wake up after an hour or hour & half I do a mixture of breastfeeding and expressed breast milk given in a bottle

Thank you everyone for your answers, they all helped, she ended up waking herself up after 3 and half hours :)

My lb has only just gone bck to his birth weight too on the 17th he was only 7lbs 8 only gained weight by 2oz so the midwives couldn’t discharge me on the 24th he was 8lbs 6 so they could finally discharge me he was 8lbs when he was born , he is on 3-4 oz every 3/4 hours but past 2/3 days he’s been drinking the full 4 oz and wanting more so I have been doing 5oz but he throws that up so I think that’s too much for him , sv never had t wake him up for his his feeds just feed him when he wakes up !!

@Beth aw bless him, glad he is back to his birth weight now x
