Hi
My daughter sometimes goes approx 3 hours between feeds but will often wake up in between and when she is awake she seems to expect a feed. Last night she woke every 2 hours for food.
My H/V told me to feed for about 10-15 mins on one breast and if she is still hungry (which she ALWAYS is) then to swap her to the other side. My midwife has now told me to only feed from one side at a time, even if she wants to feed for an hour!! Once she falls asleep, if she is still hungry she said to try an expressed bottle feed.
I am soooo confused and do not know what to do for the best. Also very tired and almost can't be bothered faffing about sterilising a bottle and warming up expresed milk (which is frozen).
Have other people had similar experiences to this?
