Feedings every 2 hrs: It is important to get the baby's circadian rhythm back to norm. Daytime every two hours you should play with the baby to wake her up to eat! That will provide nutrition and hydration. At nighttime she can sleep 4 hours but only if she had been eating through the day. Important to keep tract of wet diapers at least some urine produced every 4 hours. Otherwise pediatricians visit appointment!!
