6 Week Old Sleep

klar4230

My baby turned 6 weeks yesterday. We are currently transitioning to formula using Emfamil for Supplementation. She ate 4 oz at 7pm and again at 11....she woke at 3 had a wet diaper, woke at 7 had another wet diaper....each time she has seemed hungry but will not take my breast or the formula. She has fallen back asleep each time. She is great with the bottle, Dad has been helping me feed since day one that way. Is she just that full still? We didn't force it down....she wanted it!

Sounds like she is full, my lo is 8 wks,takes 3oz at 11 and isn't hungry again til 5-6am.. Our pedi says feed 2-3 hrs during day, then from 11-7 on demand

If she falls back asleep by just being held then I would think that's ok. IMO, she would take the food if she really wanted it.

I agree with this.  I think if she was hungry she would eat, especially since it sounds like she has no problem doing so at other times of the night.
