3 hours since last feed
My son is 4 days old today. We saw the pediatrician yesterday and his weight loss is still within normal range (down 6% since birth). In the hospital they said to feed him every 2 to 3 hours, wake him up if he was still sleeping. Well the pediatrician said 3 hours is too long between feeds and I need to wake him up 2 hours from the start of the last feed. It's been almost 3 hours now and for the last hour I've been trying to wake him up to eat. Changed him, messed with his feet, cold baby wipe on him, skin to skin, everything I can think of to wake him up and he just won't stay awake long enough to eat. What should I do?
