3.5 weeks old short night feeds
sorry, feel like im dominating this forum at the moment but seem to have a new question every day!
Henry is 3.5 weeks old now and has a pattern at night - wakes midnight ish, 0330 ish, 0630/0700 ish and then does hourly feeds till about 1000 where he has a longer one. The day varies. I feel pretty lucky that he has a pattern so young (although i know it could change yet!) What worries me is that his feeds varied between 30-45 mins, they still do in the day but the night ones are now only 10-20 mins and he acts completely exhausted as if he can't take more. His nappies used to be wet and dirty at night, now they're just wet although he has plenty of poos in the day.
He settles fine (in fact he sleeps so much i can't believe it - aside from feeds he's only awake from 5pm till bedtime usually - does this sound ok? I feel guilty sometimes i dont spend more time bonding with him but he's always asleep!!) he gained weight on day 5 and again on day 12 and is visibly bigger so i hope this all means its going ok. x
