4 wk old eating patter

pattersg · February 2011

I'm wondering if Anyone elses month old do this? My LO eats about every 3 hrs from 5am until evening then every hour for about 4-5hrs while she fusses the entire time! When she finally falls asleep it's usually about midnight for about 5hrs. The long sleep is nice but the 5hrs of fussing and non stop BFing is frustrating! Just wondering if anyone has experienced this! TIA!

we FF, but our LO eats every 3-4 hours throughout the day, then evening comes and she gets very fussy and only goes about 2 hours between feedings until 11-12, then will be back to at least 4 hours again...

I can only imagine what it's like BFing...because the 4-5 hours of fussing is bad enough!!!

I go through this every night. It has been doing a toll on my nipples, but it is normal. I went through it with all my kids. Only with DD she never slept, she was colic, so I will take the 3-5 hours of fussing any day over the 22 hours of crying a day!

Im sorry it can be rough!

it sounds like normal infant fussiness, it is the most common in the evenings and it also sounds like your LO is cluster feeding, have you been to kellymom it has helpful info on most everything! here is the link for you:
