Question about feedings

JenW1029

My LO is 5 weeks on Friday - last week he was pretty good about eating 3-4oz nearly 3-4 hours apart but this week he's back to only taken in 2oz and wants to eat about every 90mins to 2 hours. I know the intake is about the same 2oz every 2, or 4oz every 4hrs... so I'm not worried about weight. He just can't seem to finish it any more - I undress him, change his diaper, etc. I'm not sure if he's going through a growth spurt and just wants food more often.

Has anyone experienced such a shift backwards in their feeding schedules? I started following "Wonder Weeks" and based on their info he's going through his first leap, which could contribute to this change...

Just curious if anyone is going through something similar and how long it took your LO to shift back to taking in more food again?

My LO did this. He's 6.5wks now. But he did it around 5wks, he ate that way for about a week id say. I just told myself it was because of his growth spurt and wonder week. Now that he's past that his eating is more like his old routine. And he can go longer at night with out eating, fx this happens with your little one!

Mine did this as well. It's likely just a growth spurt. It only lasted a few days.
