Feeding on demand vs routine

[stacey83]

I just haveto say stick to the demand feeding and co-sleeping, i have been doing that with my DS since he was born and ive enjoyed it so much. I used to feed him on demand, every 2-3-4hrs . He sleeps perfectly and is a very happy and content baby... i never used to let him cry much as i would pop him to my breast and he was happy (as i too had to bump my milk supply up).. Now he has slipped into his own routine and i put him to bed at 8pm and he wakes at 5-6.30am for a morning breastfeed and sleeps a little longer in bed with us! Than we wake up together happy!

So just do what you want to do and dont get bogged down with what other people say!

Enjoy your baby!

Demand feeding is definately all I feel comfortable with- I've never let our baby cry.

He's developed a night time routine though which makes life more predictable which is nice. He cluster feeds/naps from 5-9pm then feeds at 1-2am and again at 5-6am. So two 4 hour chunks- I am not complaining!
