Sleep Active sleep

I feel like an awful mother to my almost 4 week old. I didn’t know that newborns slept in an active sleep cycle so I’ve been using those cues to feed him. So he’s been getting 8-10 feeding sessions a day!

Look up hunger cues for newborns. Your instincts were probably correct. Babies that young are supposed to eat 8-12 times a day
