I think different doctors give different recommendations, but we were told after they reached her birth weight that we could just let her sleep. She reached her birth weight 72 hours after birth! So I...

yes, every 2-3 hours for the first few weeks -- both my LO's lost a lot of weight the first week because my milk was slow to come in! :) once their weight stabilizes you don't have to anymore!

We were told to make sure that baby fed 8-12 times every 24 hour period; this meant that he should feed about every 3 hours and shouldn't sleep for longer than 5 hours in one 24 hour period. We never...

We did due to jaundice that required hospitalization at 5 days old. After two weeks we stopped - at that point she was healthy and waking up every 2-4 hours on her own.I remember the first time the...

No, I fed my kids when they woke up. DS started sleeping longer stretches early on. I did get up and pump every 3ish hours though.

The doctor told us at the hospital to wake her to feed every 2-3 hours but she always woke every 1.5 - 2 hours anyways. At her one week appointment the doctor said we could let her sleep and feed her...

Nope, from the moment she was born she was in a 4 hour cycle, whenever I put her down to sleep I could predict when she would wake up because she woke up exactly 4 hours later. She didn't use much...

Nope. Set the alarm for three hours the first night....soon realized she was never going to sleep long enough for it to go off. :)

We had weight gaining issues and I was always stressed by my supply so I woke her every 2 hours for the first two to three weeks. After that honestly she would wake on her own. We got a few five hour...

Not entirely sure, but I *think* you're supposed to feed them every 3 hours at night only until they re-gain their birth weight? I think all babies lose a little weight in the beginning, since they are...

We did for quite awhile, but I had a reflux baby who didn't eat enough. I would easily add one four hour stretch at night but in general every 3. But it doesn't need to take a very long time...

Not always, but I wish I would have & I will next time. I didn't do my low supply any favors by letting her go 3-4 hours on a regular basis. If your pediatrician says you can let them sleep, you...

I went 3-4 hours! But I was pumping and knew I would not be bf'ing long by the end of the first week so I wasn't really thinking about bf supply issues. (I know people who have successfully bf'd and...
