HELP... Almost 1 month old question
So my little girl is going to be 1 month old on Wednesday. I just weighed her this morning after she woke up, before she ate and she is 10 lbs 0.75oz. Was 9 lb 8 oz when she was born, and left hospital 8 lb 10 oz.
She is absolutely adorable and we are very blessed.
She is a very alert little one. She already was holding her head up, pushing on my thighs, is very alert at all times, recognizes momma and daddy all the time, smiles a lot (whether It be gas or what not)... even the pediatrician says that she is very advanced for some of her skills.
That being said, we have a few issues with feeding, that she will spit up at every feeding, even after I burp her for a while.
I had my mom in town for Xmas and she did a lot of cooking, and I noticed that my LO had a bit of diarrhea too. She usually averages 3-4 poopy diapers a day, and easily 8+ wet diapers a day too. I think she had the diarrhea from what I was eating.
Anyways, I try to feed every 2.5 - 3 hours, even waking her up to do so.
So my issue is at night.
I’ll do my last feeding around 11ish, and I set my alarm for 3 hours since start of last feeding. HOWEVER, I’m not really getting up when my alarm goes off and I’m kinda sleeping through it - soooo bad!!!
Anyways, this little one Just was wasn’t fussing or crying to be fed or changed, and I have the Owlet on her too... so I went close to 5 hours between the feeds. I think she would sleep through her nighttime feeds. She’s less than a month old, and I feel terrible about it. Like I woke up close to the 5 hour mark and woke her to change her feed her, and she only took 10 mins on one boob and 1 min on the other. Usually she is a greedy guts during the day.
I am on call to her during the day all the time... she prefers to be on mommy 24/7.
I just feel bad...HELP!!!
