Due Date Club September 2004:How much is enough?
2004-10-18
Name: chini



My son has feeds almost every 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour unlike the recommended 2 hour gap. Since he drinks only for about 5 minutes and that too on one breast and takes the other breast in the next feed, I do not know whether he is full. How many ounces of feed is enough for a month old baby? What are the other mothers doing? Is any mother facing the same problem?

Hi Rekha,

I know its very tiring to be awake all night n day especially after delivery. I suggest that if your son just drinks for 5 mins, then try to pump milk, and feed him thru bottle. He will at least take more amounts than what he does by suckling. He will at least be full n sleep for more time, and u too will get time for urself. Mabbe he gets too tired now to feed for more time, as he is just 12 days old. Give him time, he will change the habit soon.

Hope this helps you. I would also recommend you tojoin the the message group for parenting created by july n august moms called julyaug2004moms. You can write a mail to lakshmi_nagamohan@yahoo(.)com to join the same.

Take care
annu

sani/ saniya
Hi,
I saw ur query. i have no clue how old this is. but since i knew both the meanings ... thought of informing u. Sani - Gift
Saniya - Wisdom

saniya is a sanskrit word. but since saniya mirza is a muslim ... it sure is a name for both religions. as far as sani is concerned ... i have no clue ... to which religion it belongs.
