Breast feeding too often ?

Question

If baby is not asleep she feeds almost every hour. And she falls asleep while eating, so I know she’s not feeding the entire time but I can’t keep her awake! She seems to be getting enough milk but it’s just so often I’m exhausted!  She’s one week old. Help 😩

Answer

Sorry, it’s normal at that age. I know it feels like all you do it feed the baby at this stage (and it’s pretty much true) but it will get better in a couple weeks. Just do the best you can with sleep. This is why new moms walk around like zombies for the first month or two.

Answer

This is pretty normal for a 1 week old. Just keep pushing mama. Everything will get better.

Answer

It gets better Mama. That is totally normal for the first few weeks.

Answer

Normal. Baby has a small belly and digests breastmilk quickly. This also helps establish your supply. I was told to feed on demand as BF baby can't be over fed. My 6 week old daughter is still not on a "schedule"- she eats and comfort nurses as needed, we've recently decided to introduce a pacifier whole in the car and at night after feeding.

Answer

Pretty normal. My daughter did this for like the first 4 weeks I had to keep waking her to feed. I later found out it was because of a tongue tie. If it happens past 2/3 weeks and there’s issues with latching definitely look to see if it’s a tongue or lip tie. We got our daughter’s snipped and it made a world of difference.
