Little one won't eat

My little one won't eat.  She went almost 6 hours then ate about 5 mins and threw up then slept for another 3 and ate for 3 mins and won't eat anymore.  Not sure what to do.

  • 6 hrs is way too long to let LO go between feedings. Wake her to feed every 2-3 hrs during the day and every 3-4 hrs at night. She may have been too frantic and swallowed a lot of air which caused her to throw up. How are her poops looking?

  • Sounds like she's sleepy...at such an early age she should be eating more...try to see if you can keep her awake to eat longer, I know easier said then done. 

    Is she pooping and having wet diapers?

  • I tried waking her up to feed a couple times and she would suck for a few minutes and then pull off and fall right back to sleep.  She was eating every hour and a half during the day and every 2.5 to three the last couple days and even last night but then she stopped today/  I did finally get her to eat 25 mins on one side and 8 on the other so I will take it.  She has a full wet diaper every hour or so and also has poop in every diaper as well.  As of right now she seems fine though so hopefully it will stay that way.
