Q:
如果寶寶沒在2點哭醒, 而是在2點AM到6點AM之間哭醒, 我接下來的餵奶時間該如何調整?

A: Dear Jenny,

妳可以自己決定. 如果寶寶在4點哭醒, 妳可以在4點餵, 妳也可以等到6點再餵.

如果妳在4點餵, 妳可以:
1) 維持原來的餵奶時間, 6點再餵
2) 每隔3個半小時餵, 等到傍晚時, 恢復原來的餵奶時間 (7點半, 11點, 14點半, 18點).

Anyway, it's flexible. Do what is easiest and most helpful for you as the mom.

Hope you're enjoying life with baby more and more.

Q: If the baby does not cry at 2 AM, but cries between 2 AM and 6 AM (like 3 AM, 4 AM or 5 AM) and cries more than the time limit set for that day, should I feed him? If yes, should I change the whole feeding schedule? Like if the baby cries at 4AM, and cry more than say 20min (if 20min limit is set for that day), should I feed him? If yes, should I change the next feeding time to be 8 AM?

Thanks,

Jenny

A: Dear Jenny,

The answer to your question is this: you decide. Any way is really OK. If the baby wakes up at 4AM and you have waited long enough, you can go ahead and feed him. If you want him to wait until 6AM, that's OK, too. If you DO feed him at 4:00 AM, you then have a few choices.
1) Feed the baby at 6:00AM if you want to keep the schedule the same.
2) Feed the baby at every 3 and 1/2 hours during the day so that by the evening, you'll be close to your schedule again. (So today's schedule becomes: 7:30, 11:00, 2:30, 6:00)
