7 week old eating only 6 times per day
« on: December 22, 2005, 16:36:54 pm »
My seven week old is now eating only six times per day.  she is taking her last feed around 8:30 and sleeping until 5:30.  She is peeing well and is evidently growing.  She has no interest in dreamfeeding.  Does she really need it? 

Also, since I am now going 8-9 hours without feeding her is there anything I should be doing to keep up my milk supply?

Thanks

If she is happily going 3 hrs between feeds, and sleeping all night, wow!  :D  You will be fine going 9 hrs at night without feeding, your breasts will adjust.

Continue to watch her output, but congrats, it sounds like you have an easy baby!
