newborn feed and safe co sleeping???

[bumptobe29]

my lo is 9 days old and is feeding 4oz (120mls) every 4 hours, but seems to want more about 2 hours after each feed aswel?? i know that if he is hungry its the only thing that will stop him crying but i just worry ill over feed him!!

how much do your newborns take and how often??

also he hates not being on me or hubby, but im petrified of co sleeping but find myself drifting off as i hold him at night. is there any ways uve found of making it a bit safer if i do fall asleep?

thanks for your help x

I'm breastfeeding on demand so Leni takes what he wants, so i can't help you there. Co-sleeping is competely safe if done properly, just make sure you don't fall asleep with your LO on a chair, or on a sofa. Co-sleeping in bed is absolutely fine! Check out the natural parenting section as there is a sticky on there detailing safe co-sleeping xx
