I am new to BW, and before birth, thought I'd do Gina but think BW is a bit more straightforward to follow.
Charlie is a week old.
I have a couple of questions about feeding:
- I am currently feeding on demand, so approx every 2-3 hours in the day and every 3-4 hours at night. He asks when he wants to feed, so sometimes the timing goes a bit out. Should I make him wait for a bit longer before feeding or will this happen over time?
- He always falls asleep on the breast, but then when I put him down, will wake up again. Do I need to do some kind of A after feeding?
- Do I need to feed him from both breasts at the moment, he comes off the one he's been feeding off on his own but very quickly will start to chew his hands, a cue that he's still hungry. Should I give him a few minutes to see if he wants any more? Problem is sometimes I'll give him a few minutes and he'll drop off, but will refuse any more from the breast.
All advice welcome thank you!
