Confusion in feeding
Hi,
My daughter is 3 weeks old .. She is sleeping for long hours in morning. So I myself wake her for feeding every 2 hours and feed for 20 minutes. But in contrast , at night she feed frequently 1/2 an hour once.
Overall pee count is 12- 15 times. She goes poop in very liquid condition 7 to 8 times..
I am confused wheather her intake is sufficient. Is liquid state poop is normal or not.
Please guide me .

exclusively breastfedalert babies will feed about every 2 to 4 hours. Some babies may feed as often as every hour at times, often called cluster feeding. Or may have a longer sleep interval of 4 to 5 hours.
How often your baby feeds might change depending on the time of day. Some feeding sessions may be long, and others short. That is okay. Babies will generally take what they need at each feeding and stop eating when they are full. They should seem content and drowsy after feeding when they have had enough milk
Your baby will breastfeed about 8 to 12 times in 24 hours.
