The first night home I tried laying her back in bed when she fell asleep on first boob and she woke up every hour until I remembered the routine. edelweiss on "If your newborn wakes in the middle of the night, do you always try feeding first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-newborn-wakes-in-the-middle-of-the-night-do-you-always-try-feeding-first#post-1545409 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 08:09:54 +0000 edelweiss 1545409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i checked for poop, then feed. i would pray that it wasn't poop because i didn't want to unswaddle, undress, change diaper, and go in reverse. not fun. kml636 on "If your newborn wakes in the middle of the night, do you always try feeding first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-newborn-wakes-in-the-middle-of-the-night-do-you-always-try-feeding-first#post-1545387 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 08:04:13 +0000 kml636 1545387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ whatever works... nursing usually did!

That worked beautifully for us. Most wake-ups it was a diaper change and then feed though... yin on "If your newborn wakes in the middle of the night, do you always try feeding first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-newborn-wakes-in-the-middle-of-the-night-do-you-always-try-feeding-first#post-1545156 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 03:13:55 +0000 yin 1545156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Diaper and then feed. Once he got older I would do a smell test to determine whether I had to change for poop and then feed.

Once I'm done changing he eats and gets drowsy while nursing. bookwormmama on "If your newborn wakes in the middle of the night, do you always try feeding first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-newborn-wakes-in-the-middle-of-the-night-do-you-always-try-feeding-first#post-1545140 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 02:37:21 +0000 bookwormmama 1545140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Change diaper, then feed. He always has a poopy/wet diaper between feeds so I like to get it off him. Not sure if he can tell the difference though! Feeding always gets him back to sleep. Is she actually waking up? I realized L cries out sometimes in his REM sleep, but he's actually sleeping. Sometimes grabbing him would actually wake him up before he was ready. Now I wait to hear if it's an actual cry or one of his sleep cries (or see if he cries a second time). ETA: he was waking up what seemed like every 30-45 minutes before I realized I was actually waking him...now we get up every 2-2.5 hours to eat. He stopped crying out after the 30 minute window recently. lamariniere on "If your newborn wakes in the middle of the night, do you always try feeding first?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-newborn-wakes-in-the-middle-of-the-night-do-you-always-try-feeding-first#post-1545132 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 01:55:30 +0000 lamariniere 1545132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always feed!

I'm always confused by baby sleep!
