Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Is my LO eating enough?

So my LO eats a 4 oz bottle at around 8pm then she crashes in our room until we swaddle her and put her to bed at 10-11pm. I do this so she can get another bottle in before bedtime so she will sleep without waking to feed. Sometimes LO eats a bottle but sometimes she had no interest and we swaddle her and put her to bed. Depending on the night she will sleep 3 hours then wake for a feed but sometimes she sleeps until 5am which means she would not have eaten since 8pm the previous night sleeping  9 hours. Is this normal? I worry LO isn't getting enough to eat when this happens. Anyone elses LO do this? TIA!

  • Our pedi told us that as long as LO is continuing to gain weight at a normal rate, we can go ahead and just feed him when he's hungry.  How old is your LO?

  • She is 11 weeks old and we haven't had her weighed since her 2 month apt 3 weeks ago where she weighed 12 lbs. I would say she weighs 13-14 lbs now if I go by the clothes she wears. I may invest in a scale for home here just to check her between apts. She looks very healthy. She was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth. Thanks
