Ellie is a little shrimp,...I find that interesting. Ellie is a little shrimp, but I am certain it is not because I took advice from "Babywise". If people think that the point is to never feed your baby unless it has been three hours than they didn't read the book right.In the beginning I was feeding Ellie every two hours. Then the time just naturally stretched out. Ellie goes for 4 hours between feedings now and sleeps for 12-13 hours at night. If she seems hungry before that, I go ahead and feed her, but she usually doesn't. I still have enough milk to satisfy her and I only breastfeed four times a day usually. I think the problem is trying to tie them to a schedule when they are newborns. I followed the books advice and Ellie seemed hungry right on schedule...it was almost like I WAS demand feeding, but because she got the play and sleep she needed in the order she needed it, she wasn't demanding food all day.Mandy and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324149398071285011noreply@blogger.com
