We are going to be doing respite (sp) for a couple of weeks for a very tiny newborn. The FM told me that she eats every two hours. Now this may sound strange, but how to I make sure I wake up for her feedings? My kitchen timer only goes for one hour and I don't want to have to set the alarm clock each time. We are going to put in our room so I can hear her if she wakes up, but I doubt she will (they say she sleeps a lot).
Also do you give baths at this age or only sponge baths? We have never had a baby so little or so young.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Our agency says they get newborns all the time, so my chances are pretty good we will be place with a little one. So I consider this practice......at least I hope we get a wee one like this.
