1st dc and so overwhelmed by all the books and differing opinions. Some say never wake up baby, some say wake up baby every 3-3.5 hours during day to nurse; ped says don't go longer than 4 hours between feedings during day. Have been waking her up if she is not awake by 3-3.5 hours, but am wondering if she would better fall into a routine if I just left her alone. Any advice appreciated. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

unless she is under weight, never wake a sleeping baby to eat. they will eat when they are hungry. that is what my ped. told me. workde fo rboth kids. but check with yout ped. re: weight gain and any other issudes your baby may have. how old is dc? don;t worry about a schedule if baby is less than 12 weeks IMO.

It's too early for a routine so don't be concerned about that. I would go with advice of my ped but ask ped how long this advice is good for (i.e. at what point can you just let db sleep without waking). People get so worked up over this but really whether you wake or let sleep is not the biggest deal in the world (unless underweight and then you absolutely need to wakeso follow ped's advice.
