New Born Feeding
My baby is just 6 days old. Doctor said to feed after every 2-3 hrs but he just gets up for 5 mins and while feeding only he again sleeps I wake him up but again the same thing...Only at night time he will take 5-6 times feeding.
And if he is very hungry he is active in feeding fully.
He poops 3-4 times but what should I do to wake him up cfor every feeding?
Till how many days this sleeping pattern will go on?

Hello, newborns will sleep 16-18 hrs per day. You can wake the baby by flicking the soles. Sleep hrs decrease gradually by 2-3 months of age
