I need to vent.

I know we all have different parenting styles and everyone is entitled to their own.

But.

DH has a cousin who just had a baby in late April - so she's about a month old give or take a few days.  I met her (the baby) for the first time today and was talking to her mom (DH's cousin's wife) and asked her how she was sleeping/eating.

She said she's sleeping 6 hours (which is awesome for them) and they are doing scheduled feeds at every 4 hours.  

 I was a little taken aback - their LO is a month old!  4 hours seems like a huge amount of time.  I mean, during the day, Hunter goes 3 hours tops!  And that's the rule they follow in daycare until they are one year old too.

 I don't want to insult their parenting style and their baby seems healthy and happy but I couldn't say anything to them so I'm venting to you guys!  Thanks for letting me :)

Re: I need to vent.

  • Four hours is a really long time for a one month old to go between feedings.  They are probably missing the hunger cues and just going off the drop dead I'm hungry scream.  Poor thing.

  • I agree, 4 hours seems like a lot. Evan usually eats every 2 hours! He can do 3 hours, but not 4.

    Lets just hope they're not missing her cues or making her wait to keep the schedule...
