Now that baby Brooke is here I'm sure I'll be in here a lot

So far she is nursing pretty good, I don't think she's getting that great of a latch though and not taking in enough of my breast. I'm working on it.

My milk came in today and she is more content with her feedings. I worry about over nursing her and making her puke. She's sleeping for 3-5 hours at a time and wakes up starving, not sure if I should wake her to nurse?

I think you're supposed to wake them until they are back up to their birthweight? Not sure, though.

With DS, I decided not to wake a sleeping baby, ever. I mean, they don't sleep all *that* much. As long as she's pooping and peeing, don't worry.

At her appt. today she is gaining back her weight so I decided to not waking the sleeping baby

My milk is in and in full effect and the engorgement wasn't that bad this time around.

I'm glad things are going well, Sour Milk. I can't wait to see pics of her.

I didn't wake Owen, either. He was gaining well and was up to his birth weight when he was two days old, so I said screw it.

I'd say depending on how much your baby weighed at birth and how well she is eating thoughout the rest of the day. if she's awake and active(as active as a newborn is!)at times throughout the dayand pees and poops plenty I'd say let her sleep. Why not? Thank God newborns know they have to eat! They are not going to sleep until they starve!!! Of course a premature baby or one with jaundice will need to be woke up to nurse. But if your baby is full term and healthy I'd say lucky girl enjoy the sleep. but don't get used to it. The minute you brag about it they'll start getting up evey half hour!
