What to do for newborn in between feedings?

Question

When your LO wakes up from daytime nap to feed, how do you handle that time?
Do you keep them sleepy so they can continue napping? Or do you stimulate them to allow some wake time?
Trying to find a balance between sleeping too much during the day versus overstimulation.

Answer

I followed my babies cues. if he's sleepy then I let him sleep. if he wanted to wake and play, we would play until he showed sleepy cues. now he's got a pretty good nap, eat, play routine going that he set himself. so I just continue to follow his lead.

Answer

They should be on an eat, wake, sleep cycle. Pinterest has some great ideas and “schedules” I like to use them loosely to help me plan my day/help me know what to expect etc Just remember every baby is different and babies don’t follow schedules.

Answer

Sometimes our LO is awake a bit before she eats and then she’ll sleep after she eats. Other times she sleeps, wakes up to eat, and falls asleep mid-feed. Just depends
