I had my baby in the 3rd and she does the same thing! Iv been trying to feed every two hours but sometimes she'll want to eat every half hour sometimes and hour sometimes she tries to sleep and not eat for a few hours. She eats anywhere between 10-50 minutes at a time. If he falls asleep, try rubbing his cheek or undress him to wake him up.
He will eat when he is hungry. Keep trying every 2-3hrs but most babies sleep alot, i know my daughter did.
Still haven't been to sleep he won't let me put him down and I'm terrified to keep him in the bed as I've got hubby and 2 year old next to me
Yes its normal buy taking small feeds often he is increasin your suply. This will most likely last for a few days befor he settles into longer feeds again
I never breastfed so I'm not sure how that works bit as long as your giving him as much as you can as often as you can I think that its ok. Do you have a breast pump? Maybe you could pump you milk and feed him with a bottle? But the nervousness of not wanting to go to sleep even when your so exhausted I can understand. I'm on baby number 3 so I'm not as nervous but sleep is key! He will be ok even if he wimpers a little because he doesn't want to be put down. I hope everything works out :)
