Breastfeeding newborn

Completely normal. They're just getting used to their bodies not being passed nutrients through the placenta and having to actually seek it out themselves. Those first two weeks especially are just about survival and bonding. There's hardly a rhythm, just getting used to each other and showing her how things work out here. The two of you will find a natural rythm together without even realize it before long, and you can adjust that to slowly look more like a schedule later on down the road. For now, just soak it all in, take a million pictures, and just help that tiny baby feel all the love and protection you can.

100% normal

Thats why they say "feed on demand", you can't feed on a schedule like 2 hourly. Babies aren't clocks. You feed when they signal.

Yes. Every time baby feeds in the early days they are establishing your milk supply! It’s very important and for you, if you desire to bf, it’s important to let them feed on demand as well x

Normal in the beginning. With time your baby will get into more of a routine but their feeding patterns change a lot over time. Also be aware of cluster feeding (not the case here but for the future) but it typically happens after 1-2weeks of life and can happen again multiple times at different stages of baby’s growth.

Breastfeeding is such a variable thing particularly in the first 3 month of life. They can feed between every 10 minute to every 3 hours. They will feed between 10 minutes to an hour depending on theit latch and if theyre actually eating or using you for comfort like a dummy.

Keep latching them to their feeding ques and watch their chin to see if its a swallow or not. You can usually hear them swallow but they make a bigger jaw movement when they swallow.

Youre doing amazingly. As they get older theyll perfect their latch and go long and longer and take less times

Very normal! We feed on demand! Neither of my girls had a set eating schedule. They were always amazing at not over eating so we always just fed them when they give us cues. Still like that for us to this day with my 19 month old and my 2 month old 😊🩵 (my 19 month old is always ready for some food or a snack tho 🤣 especially snacks 🤣)
