Hi gals, i had my baby a week ago. She is doing fine with breast feeding during the day... night time she gets cranky when the flow doesnt happen rapidly. Just yesterday she slept for 2 hours continuous and then back to feed and then back to 1 hr sleep pattern.

I read bhavnas post saying her baby sleeps continuous for 4 hrs in the night... did you put in any efforts for her to get this pattern.. or is this normal with 1 mth old babies?? I am just worried as i feel night time she doesnt get too much milk. Did you gals also face the same situation with your newborns??

pls comment. thanks. Poulomi replied. Hi RV,
I know how u feel...My Dia is now 7 weeks old but I too had a tough time to get her to sleep in the beginning... She would wake up every 2 hrs or keep sucking for hours...It was really tough on me..especially as I had had C-section..Something that helps me is using a breastpump...I use the avent Isis..It is a lifesaver.. I pump milk in the daytime and store it in the fridge...At night before she goes to sleep I feed her 4-5 ounces of milk...She sleeps for 4- 5 hrs through the night... This has really worked for me and we both get to sleep...I feel that the baby sleeps really well once her stomach is full...Let me know if this helps and if u have any questions..
Take care...
Poulomi Bhavna replied. hi! RV
what ur facing is normal..she is still settling down and ur milk supply is getting established..in fact at this stage docs recommend to wake the baby every 2 hrs if they don't wake on their own...untl the baby is 2 weeks old...eventually she will sleep more and u will too!
my baby is 2 months old and this pattern only started only abt 2weks ago...before that i was waking every 2-3 hrs to feed her and since she doesn't sleep much in the day..she feeds every 2 hrs and sometimes even less.
so wait and relax..stress affects milk supply too...!
take care and good luck!
