Hi there,

It's been 10 months since I stopped b/feeding my DD and I am due to have baby No.2 in just over a week's time - however, I feel like I have forgotten everything about B/feeding!!! Am I supposed to wake sleeping baby to feed him/her? I seem to recall that I used to set my alarm to feed my DD every 3 hours at the beginning - including at night (was I nuts?!). If you are "demand feeding" and the baby sleeps for 4-5 hours at a stretch do you wake them up for a feed at the 3 hour mark?

Also, I have heard that baby's are now fed solids at 4 months whereas when I had my DD it was 6 months - what's the deal with that?

Hope you can help!
