We were told to feed about every three hours and to wake him up to eat if he is sleeping which he is because that is all he does. It seems like at night like 1:00 am he wants more than my wife can produce or so it seems. We are thinking this because most of the time if he crys he will take the pacifier for a few minutes and fall asleep. Late at night that hasn't been doing it.
Yeah. That sucks...her milk production should increase in a few days if that's the problem. If it doesn't, check with your lactation consultant, they can give you ideas like pumping after each feeding a bit to increase production.
EDIT: My wife says that her milk will typically come in within the next couple days, possibly even today. It's good to let the baby still suck, as that will help this to happen more quickly (stimulates hormones, etc...).
