Hi All,
So, I have been lurking big time lately, but that must stop because now that little miss is here, I have some real questions!
Baby is 5 weeks old (today!) and EBF. She typically goes around 2-3 hours between feeding (sometimes 1.5-2 hours depending on the day). How long is too long for a newborn to be awake between feedings? Sometimes she is awake the entire time, which would be cool with me if she wasn't a little miss fusspot for a majority of that time. After a certain amount of time of being awake, should I be trying to put her to sleep? I try to soothe her between feedings (she isn't acting hungry, just fussy) by holding her, rubbing her, using the swing, using the bouncer....so maybe she is so fussy because she is overtired? Anyways, I know every baby is different, but how long is too long to be awake between eating?
