One week old. When should we try feeding? I was doing first signs of rooting and every 3-4 hrs even if no signs of hunger

Question

Answer

Crying is already too hangry. Rooting is a good sign and/or every 2-3 hours, whichever comes first.

Answer

Thanks everyone

Answer

My baby is 18 weeks and I still feed him on first signs of hunger (rooting), if you can see that they’re hungry feed them fast to prevent a meltdown! Calming down an angry baby is such hard work and they’ll be leas likely to latch properly if they’re upset

Answer

Before baby reaches birth weight every 2-3 hours or rooting, whichever comes first. After baby reaches birth weight & is putting out enough diapers don’t wake baby to eat. If you see rooting def feed but if baby is asleep let baby sleep!

Answer

I woke my son up every 2 hours till he gained birth weight back per his pediatrician. we breastfeed.

Answer

never let them go longer than 4 hours without a feed. most likely they will show signs of hunger much sooner than that,  but wake them if they don't

Answer

Rooting and every 3-4hrs unless baby is sleeping. Some parents wake baby up but I never have. All my kids (5) where healthy without waking up for feeding. If they where asleep I left them alone. That's up to you though. I understand those who do.
