Hey guys;
we were blessed with a baby girl two weeks ago. Excited, happy, exhausted covers the emotions at the minute.
We had a rocky birth (inducing didn’t work and I ended up with my second emergency section).
Little on was born a healthly weight MashAllah. She’s now two weeks old and I was wondering if anyone can remember generally how old a baby is before they start taking a larger feed? Little one goes an hour 1/2 between feeds of 1 1/2 ounces of milk. We also have another daughter MashAllah (2 1/2) and I feel like my world is revolving around the little one and she isn’r getting much attention. I’m hoping someone out there is going to make me happy and say the bigger feeds start around when a baby is a month or so old?! I’m struggling to even leave the house because of the feeds!
Last question…little one hates her moses basket and refuses to lay in it. Someone suggested that she was too young to sleep in it and I should co-sleep with her until she’s about 6 weeks old. That makes sense as newborns like to be around their parents at the beginning. Anyone else done this and how did you transition little one after the 6 weeks into a crib/basket?
Thank you
