Not eating a lot

janinekrause

Last few days my 8 week old is averaging around 17-18 ounces of formula. Has had bad gas pains that we have been working on with new tricks (seems to be working today!). She is around 10 pounds. Was born 5 lbs 8 ounces.

That seems like so little food. My first was such an eater.

Should I be concerned or just expect that she will eat when she is hungry?

I would guess since she's not feeling well she's not eating as much.   Once she starts feeling better and her gas pains subside she'll pick up her eating habits.  As long as she's giving you plenty of wet diapers I'm sure she's just fine.
