My daughter is 5 weeks old...since day one I have never been able to tell when she is full...basically she eats for about 10 mins..falls asleep. i change nappy and then she wakes and feeds again..falls asleep ..I wake her and she feeds..The cycle continutes and she never actually finishes...so I try and feed her for as long as possible and put her down ..sometimes she will wake and start crying others she will sleep. Obviously if the former it means she isnt full enough.

What can I do to help with this? It becomes very frustrating to never be able to tell when she is done,,,

Thanks

I had the same problem when Eli was a newborn..they are soooo sleepy.  Are you feeding when she first wakes up from her naps and is alert enough to have a full feed?

Well I am feeding every 3 hours..so sometimes I wake her but if she wakes herself and is screaming the house down its still the same outcome....
