sleeping more, eating less

rslhmg

So I'm not really sure what's going on with DD, hoping its symptoms of teething, but she has been sleeping more then usual, and actually tried to sleep through feedings today. She has a pedi appointment the 27th, but I'm worried about this sudden change. She hasn't had a fever so far or any other signs of being sick, but I'm still planning on calling her pedi if she hasn't gotten her appetite back by tomorrow. Was wondering if anyone else had this experience with their lo.

my son has been sleeping more at night (9.5 to 10 hours!!) and I'm worried that he isn't eating enough during the day to make up for it.  He is EBF but does get some bottles the days I am at work so there is no way to know how much he is really getting. He has wet diapers and dirty diapers and seems like he is gaining but I still worry.  

 

No advice, just wanted to say you aren't alone!

How old is your lo?  Mine went through it a couple months back.  There was about 5 days when he slept a lot and didn't eat as much.  I think I actually posted a question on here about it b/c I was concerned also.  He was totally fine though- just a phase I guess.  Or maybe the beginning of a growth spurt.

She's 3 months actual, 1 month adjusted. I'm never sure anymore if I'm supposed to go by actual or adjusted age lol

That's right around the same time my little guy did it.  Interesting....

I know what you mean about the ages- which age you use depends on what your talking about.  I'm still new to this preemie stuff too

Growth spurt?  

Like PP said, I'd just track diapers and take her temp, but I bet she'll snap out of it in a few days.
