Hey good morning... ur baby has just entered the world :) it will take its own sweet time to establish a sleep routine . Right now it will be uneven and the baby will get up regularly because its tummy is small and it gets hungry quite often. And the breastfeeding has to be done every 2 to 3 hourly per day so if u and the baby sleeps off for 6 to 8 hours in the night , u will end up skipping 3 to 4 meals , which will lead to low blood sugars in the baby which is more dangerous. Try breastfeeding every two to three hourly for at least 15 min so the baby is well fed and will sleep comfortably
Next Steps
