Jess is 3 days old, weighing 7lb 3oz at birth.
Today she has averaged 60ml per feed (although some at 70, some at 40 etc) which was up on yesterday's average of 45-50ml. Feeds are every 3-4 hours (during the day she tends to fuss after 3 hours, at night she won't wake up before 4 hours so I try to feed her whole she's relatively asleep, is that called dream feeding?)
She tends to take about 30ml then does a poop and tries to go asleep. I've been changing her bum usually after the 30ml and then carrying feeding to see if she'll take any more. Usually she does.
I'm just wondering if she's taking enough? I've got the midwife due tomorrow but I'm sat here all anxious cause it took about an hour to get her to take 40ml at the 3am feed! Feel all guilty that she's not eating enough!
Also she tends to poop 6-8 times per day, usually weeing at the same time.
