At what daily ML do you stop waking your baby for a feed or are people doing it from a certain time. My little one got discharged from hospital and is on reduced feeds due to their breathing we are doing little and often but he’s a good 170ml off of what he would usually have at this time and is technically due a feed in 10 minutes but is fast asleep.
I was given an amount for if he wants to feed every 2 hours and an amount if he wants it every 3. We’ve gone to the 3 as per his cues.
He’s a good weight so I’m not concerned about that side of things just worried about dehydration.
Usually he would have a feed anywhere from now to midnight from his own wanting, not me waking him up and then I just leave him the rest of the night and if he wants a feed he will let me know.
Just anxious with it being so warm and was never really given a time of stop waking him from here, but was told to wake in the day.
Sorry for the big long post and ramble😂

You stop waking them to feed once they've gained back their birth weight. After that leave them to it. Offer feeds little and often to help with thirst xx
