How often are you waking baby for feeds at night? And how often are they feeding during the day?

Mine is almost 4 weeks old and feeds approx 8 times, usually every 2-4 hours. We have had to wake her sometimes if it’s got to 4 hours but the HV said not to worry now as she’s way above her birth weight and so we can just feed on demand x

Waking the baby? Is that some trick question? I think I breastfed almost every hour since 5:30 am. She is 5 weeks old and seems clusterfeeding.
I don't wake her anyway since she got to her birthweight. She slept ones 6 hours but mostly 2-4 hours. Gaining weight nicely so just following her lead x

Ours is 3 weeks and he wakes every 2.5-4 hours. Has about 90-100 ml each time and in the day it’s every 3-4 hours x

We don’t wake him though as he’s now above birth weight x

My girl is 4 weeks, probably every 2h in the day most days but she can do 5h at night, call me controversial but I’ve never woke her to feed her, we left the NICU at 17 days old and we just exclusively demand breast feed as we were doing our last few days in the nursery at the NICU

3-4 hours in the day time (tho this can vary with cluster feeding) and he’ll have his last feed at 10:30 / 11 then have a bottle of expressed milk around 2 / 3 and he’ll sleep through till 8, I’m not waking a sleeping baby lol mama needs her sleep too

Normal?

Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.

My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.

You can’t distract him once he works himself up.

At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe

Is this normal?

Bed time/ wake time

I have a five month old and really trying to figure out what time I should be putting her to bed. She wakes up at like 6:30am which is too early for me 😅

Any advice or mums who’ve figured it out?
