Hi all,
Need a bit of advice with feeding... I'd ask a midwife or HV but I've never really got a straight answer with any question I've asked, i've always had to make a final decision myself, plus mums know better :)
My little girl is 9 weeks old and for the past 2 weeks she's been sleeping through the night. Its great! can finally get some decent sleep. However, I'm a bit worried about how much or little she's feeding. She had a cold and cough over xmas and she lost her appetite but was still taking milk, albeit very slowly and broken up from her usual routine.
The problem is, I dont know if I'm feeding her enough. She wakes at 7-8 and feeds every 4 hours until she goes to bed at around 8.30/9pm so she's only feeding 4 times a day, taking 6oz each time. Shes not waking and crying for any more, she sleeps really well and wakes up happy and calmly takes her first morning feed.
Thanks in advance xx
