Wake my 9 day old to eat?

Question

I feed my 9 day old breast milk about 8-9 times during the day. Tonight he ate before bed at 10pm 45 min, fed him again at 1:30pm for 45 min. Now I woke up to deer him at 3:30 but he is still sleeping. That’s almost 4 hours since start of last feeding. Should I wake him? Wait until he wakes on his own? Wake him in an hour or two? I pumped just now so I can keep my supply up too.

Answer

I always waited until they woke up unless it had been like an extremely long time

Answer

you fed him at 1 30 and its 3 30 now? you fed him 2 hours ago not 4. it's fine to let baby sleep if baby is gaining weight and has plenty of wet and soiled diapers

Answer

Thanks everyone. Apparently I was so tired my math was off lol

Answer

At one week, my son was already gaining weight pretty well, so my doctor told me I didn’t need to worry about waking him. I would talk to your pedi and get their opinion.

Answer

Yes
