Eating enough?

Question

I’ve been tracking her feedings since we’ve been home. She’s 2weeks today and she eats a lot during the day but at night she wakes up maybe two times. She’s EBF and I feed her on demand. She was born 9lbs 2oz and when we went in for her 2 day weight check she had gained 1oz but we went to her 2 week appointment and she was back to 9lbs 2oz. I’m just worried since she she is sleeping so much at night.

Answer

If she is settled after a feed, not crying for more constantly, has wet nappies, she is fine. Let her sleep!

Answer

As long as the baby is having at least 6 wet diapers a day she is getting enough. 
As far as the weight goes she may have lost some weight, which is normal at the beginning. Now she should be really gaining weight.

Answer

From what I’ve been told, as long as baby is back at birth weight by 2 weeks you’re good, she may have lost more weight after birth than they measured which is why she’s back at birth weight. As long have as she doesn’t lose any at this point it looks great!

Answer

If baby has gained back to birth weight after two weeks, then you can start letting them wake you for a feed instead of waking them.
Unfortunately my girl still wakes us every three hours at night on the dot 😂
