Sleepy newborns often leave parents wondering what to do next when it comes to feeding ⬇️

For newborns under 2 weeks old, yes, it’s usually recommended to wake them every 2 to 3 hours for feeds to support healthy weight gain.

For healthy, growing babies who are gaining weight well, you can often let them sleep and feed when they wake naturally.

For preterm or underweight babies, it’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s guidance and wake them for feeds as advised.

Additionally, if you’re breastfeeding, those early frequent feeds can also help support and establish your milk supply.

Every baby is different, so if you’re ever unsure, check in with your healthcare provider for personalised advice.

May 5 is International Day of the Midwife, and at The Baby Academy we’re taking a moment to celebrate the midwives behind everything we do. The care they bring into every class, the knowledge they share with families, and the steady support they provide through pregnancy, birth, and beyond is what makes this work so meaningful ❤️

Here is how to ruin a toddler's morning:

2. Give them exactly that.
