Feeding and sleeping habits
I was just wondering what everyone else's babies were doing with sleeping and eating. Mine (who still has no name, oops) is tending to feed and an off for a good couple of hours then sleep for 2-3, although at night he is tending to only feed for about 10 mins then sleep for about 2 hours. I'm not sure if he is actually feeding all the time or jut comfort sucking for half of it, but if I try to take him off he usually starts feeding properly again.
I just can;t remember what is normal for a newborn. I only remember DS1 spending half the day screaming and fingers crossed this one seems to be more chilled out...
I'd love to hear what your LOs were doing, xxx

Raeya is 10 days old today and on average she is sleeping for 3 hours, feeds for about 30mins. a couple of days ago when I think she was having a growth spurt she was feeding nearly every 2 hrs.
I'm not sure if that's normal or not but Raeya seems happy enough and had her weighed today and she's gaining nicely so I'm not worried.
I hope that helps anyhow

Olivia is 2 weeks and is formula fed.
She takes between 3 and 4 oz every 3 - 4 hours so is feeding quite well she does often spend a couple of hours awake between feeds during the day so I hold her and talk to her at those times. She went a few nights deciding she wanted to be awake at around 4am so I fed and changed her and put her back in her moses basket and she self settled. She's gaining weight nicely and is now 6lb 12oz.
We have only had 3 unsettled nights with her so far so hopefully things will stay the same but somehow I very much doubt it!!!
