Thankyou Sonali I have started to write down whenever I breast feed and how many minutes and sides. Let me see how it goes.

Rebecca in the first fifteen days it is best to complete a minimum of eight feeds per day. As at this time babies are still learning about feelings of hunger satiety and how to get their food. In the womb they are used to being fed constantly and hence may not awaken for feeds. Also in the first few days many babies have physiological jaundice which is fairly normal but can make babies very sleepy. Once baby crosses the first doctors visit and the weight gain is on track then switch to on demand feeding.

Just to add , yesterday night I tried feeding her though she dint cry and she was not ready at all. She continued sleeping though I tried waking her up.

@636df5bb3f31520016a58177 can you advise what’s the best approach ? Feed on demand or wake them up every few hours ?
