My dd was born at 35 weeks 6 days and after a very difficult start when she failed to latch on for a week, we are mainly breastfeeding with one formula top up a day. She is now 9 weeks old (5 weeks corrected) but most afternoons/evenings she is still feeding almost constantly. Is this normal and likely due to her being born premature? I love feeding her but I was looking forward to a few evenings without a baby on my lap! Her weight gain has been good and she has put on around half a pound every week for the past five weeks. I was hoping that her feeding might become more regular soon?
