Timing for eat and sleep of newborn

2021-10-22 19:55:01
I have been told for my day 4 baby to feed every two hour So if i feed at 2 pm. The feeding and making it sleep goes one hour till 3 pm. Then next feeding session is 4 pm. Is it right?? Baby gets one hour only to sleep between  session. And have been told to wake up and feed. Im feeding formula milk. As milk supply low and baby doesn't wants to latch or tired sucking.

My Reply is feed whenever baby is hungary Don't follow clock. If baby is enjoying sound sleep, let him sleep. When he is hungry , he will get up and cry for feeds. Is it ok. Use grand mother's sytem.
