Charmaine, my boy was also down to one feed at night in 20 days three years ago. Hope my Emma would be the same as her bro and cousin. I think I am doing the routine method correctly. The baby doesn't wake up other than at 2-3am n 6-7am for milk. No crying. Nothing... My sil has to get back to work after two months. She tried the three hourly feeding for the first 10 days and really suffered n nearly breakdown cos 3 hourly is not enough for newborn.. And she was not producing enuf milk. So my mil ask me to show her how to structure the feeds like I did for my boy. Within 3 days, her milk increased, she can sit down to have lunch and dinner at proper timings instead of adhoc after attending to baby, baby cry less cos we start feeding before baby cries for milk (initially, we keep hearing baby cry every two three hours), everyone knows when the baby needs what rather than guessing and rushing about like headless chicken, she has time to rest, nap, pump and even have some me-time.
We can also tell visitors what time to come. Usually 2:00-3:30pm when baby is awake.
Many people say each baby is different so lets see if my
Emma is also going to be like her bro and cousin. If Emma also can do it, I guess baby needs are not so different from each other afterall. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
