First night at home with baby !! Help

[Paolanrl92]

My babygirl was discharge from the nicu today !!
I'm having a hard time figuring out when she eats !!
They had fed her at 11 we hit home around 1 I breastfed her at 2 and she drank and drank and drank ! For the first time :-) she was eating until 330 on and off . I changed and fed her at 6 and once again I stopped feeding her around 8-815 ... I woke her up changed and she fed for about 15 min non stop at 11:15 but I feel like she dint eat enough :-/ maybe she was full ??

I tried waking her up now but she's knocked out I'm do scared :-/

It's ok relax, you don't have to keep that tight of a schedule with newborns, if she's hungry she will wake up and let you know! I'm just now figuring this out and it's been 3 weeks lol if she's tired, let her sleep. But if it's been 3 or 4 hrs and she hasn't gotten up to eat then try to wake her up. Just breathe mamma you can do this :)

You can feed anywhere from 15-30 per breast no more then an hr total. She may just be suckling extra for comfort or because you aren't producing enough. If she isn't crying and fussy she should be doing fine. She'll wake up to feed hun don't worry

I agree. Newborns wake up when they are hungry,  so don't worry. I personally never woke up my son when he was a newborn. He woke up by himself every 3 hours. After the first month you'll notice a change....they'll be breastfeeding more and sleeping longer. By 4 months, he could sleep between 8-10 hours. So, don't worry, babies regulate themselves. ..they'll eat a lot when hungry,  and eat less when not hungry. Or they'll continue sleeping. God bless!
