Spending time

With a newborn baby there is very little time for anything else than feeding and caring. Therefore I think I will post a bit less the next couple of months, as the house needs attention as well, dinner has to be made and kids have to be educated and cared for.
I do hope to be able to keep a bit on track here as I do love explaining how things feel for us with parenting etc.
For now, nursing needs to be done about every hour, as she is still small, that also means that there is a nice amount of dirty nappies, as she does feed very well.
Newborn babies need about 10 to 12 feeds in 24 hours, so it makes total sense that she does this, as she is sleeping quite well during the nights.
Furthermore we needed to make sure that feeding was going smooth, and that takes a few weeks to get that fully settled. In general mums are explained not to use any dummies or bottles before the first 4 weeks are done and that they have made sure that breastfeeding is well established, that will take about 4 weeks.
