Feeding Frenzy 3 Week Old Baby

  

Feeding frenzy: Baby is 5 days old milk has just come in and I have been feeding since 8.30 he feeds every hour I feel like it's every minute. I miss sleep everytime I put him down he's crying again! Day 5 is hard I'm holding onto hope that I know things will get easier. I'm holding onto all the positives - BabyCenter Australia. Aug 05, 2019 My now 4 week old baby is cluster feeding. Usually in the evening ( at about 17.00 until 21.00 ) but sometimes also during the day. I do not breastfeed, I give her formula. She will drink a little, fall asleep for 5 minutes or 10, then again drink a little and so on. Jan 21, 2015  I want to know what can my three week old chicks eat other than chick starter feed? I already gave them some grit. What can 3 week old chicks est other than chick starter feed? Thread starter. My girls are free ranging my girls are 3 and a half weeks old and they are growing so fast here is a pic of the kids feeding them oatmeal they.

Two weeks in, and we seem to be doing ok. I have managed to get both children up, dressed, fed and out the door by 9am twice this week by myself. I’m expecting my medal any day now.

Feeding Frenzy 3 Week Old Baby Sleeping More Than Usual

My husband is taking a bit of a staggered paternity leave so this has obviously meant me having to negotiate handling a three and a half year old who adores her new brother, but who is also learning how to share her mum for the first time. We have had mixed results…

As well as table graffiti and cereal tantrums my daughter also decided she would refuse to take part in a single race at her sports day, despite her practising for weeks on end. But rather than getting frustrated or angry at this whilst I sat between the other proud parents watching all their children partake, I did what most early postnatal women do and I just cried my little heart out. So much so that another mum had to come and console me on the side lines – mortifying!

So I am therefore concluding that my postnatal feeding hormones have kicked in this week. Not only because of the irrational teary outbursts but because I am absolutely ravenous. I feel like the hungry caterpillar; on Monday Claire ate one giant bar of Dairy Milk, on Tuesday she had two peanut butter and banana sandwiches (at 4am!) and on Wednesday she devoured 3 platefuls at the Pizza Hut buffet – seriously!

But I am in good company, as Rowan has also found his appetite this week. After initially losing weight on day 5 (a very normal, physiological part of early newborn life, a post to follow on this) he was weighed this week and he is 300 grams above his birth weight. He put on 10 ounces in 4 days – chunk!

It is always so reassuring as a mum to find out your baby is thriving and gaining weight well. This is especially true I find when women are breastfeeding. It is extremely common in our society for breastfeeding mothers to question ‘whether they have enough milk’. And unfortunately frequent feeding is often misinterpreted as a sign of insufficient milk supply. I totally understand why, though. If women are brought up to believe that babies feed every 3-4 hours and that the clock plays such an important role in feeding (duration, intervals, sleep), and then their babies come out wanting to feed every 1-2 hours, sometimes with gaps of no longer than 5-10 minutes and lasting occasionally over an hour, they will naturally deem their child to be starving.

Some babies will feed every 3-4 hours but most babes certainly will not. That is why ‘baby led’ feeding or ‘responsive feeding’ is so important. Neither your mother, your neighbour, your midwife, and especially not Gina Ford, knows how regularly YOUR baby will want to feed, but luckily your baby will. So follow your baby’s lead and feed them whenever they show signs of being hungry. This way your baby and boobs will be in sync.

For the purpose of the blog and to hopefully give mums a ‘normal’ perspective of a healthy, breastfed, newborn’s feeding pattern I have recorded Rowan’s feeds over the past 24 hours.

He’s a feeder!

Counting each individual episode at the breast that is 26 feeds in just one 24-hour period. I honestly had no idea that Rowan actually fed this often. But this schedule is HIS very own ‘baby led’ feeding log. It’s a boring read, I am well aware, but hopefully mums can take away from this that frequent feeding is often NOT a sign of low milk supply. You can also see from the feeding log that not one of Rowan’s feeds lasted longer than 15 minutes, and that I am rubbish at remembering which breast I fed off last.

Miraculously in between all this feeding I still managed to take my daughter to and from preschool, care for my new son, let our cleaner in (I’m such a trooper) and obviously I made time for a food shop.

Feeding frenzy theme. Donations typically decline during the summer months. Unfortunately, hunger is a year-round problem. Let’s face it, most people don’t think about donating food until the holidays come around.
