yes thank you... my 3 wk old g-baby boy is wanting to nurse about every hour, and we saw him last night - he fell asleep in my husbands arms, but shuttered & woke himself up several times within about 20 mins. should we be concerned? he does shutter a lot like he s cold, and he seems to be crabby - not smiling yet
Welcome to the Chat Doctor I understand your concerns but don't worry. Its perfectly normal for 3 weeks old newborn to startle and stutter at times in sleep. Babies start recognizing mother at 1 month of age and smile clearly by 2-3 months of age also known as social smile. Since your baby is too young for that, It's perfectly fine. During breastfeeding, the initial thin milk is good at quenching thirst of baby and hind Ill whicChatDoctores later is important for satisfying appetite. So, ensure complete feeding from one side before changing to other breast, so that baby gets both fore milk and hind milk. This will help in keeping him more satisfied. Hopefully this will be helpful. Take care
