feeding on demans at 10 weeks?

ADL2010 · December 2011

So my DD is 10 wks now and she has some gas/reflux issues and during the day i am worried about her eating routine and if she is getting enough to eat. she will often only eats for a few minutes, gets uncomfortable gas bubbles, we burp and then she doesnt want to eat any more. Sometimes she will eat again within a half hour and i am not worried other times she will go 2-3 hours and then eat a little again. At night she eats well and spaces it 4-5 hours, I am just worried that she is eating enough. She seems fine and i nurse her when she seems hungrey buti dont want her weight gain to drop off.

anyone else experience anything like this?

perhaps she has become more efficient? My son would only nurse for 5ish minutes per side after a few months, he just got really quick. If she's gaining weight and is thriving (not lethargic, etc) then just keep feeding her when she acts hungry.

Watch the baby and not the clock. How is her diaper output? Is she overall happy? If she seems fine she is getting enough.

DS is totally like this! He does sort of cluster feed in the mornings, eating every 1-2 hours from about 6:00-10:00am. The rest of the day he's about 1.5-3.5 hours between feedings. At night it's 3-5 or more.

He rarely eats more then 10 minutes per feeding. Often it's only about 5 minutes. He's gaining a lot though and is big for his age so I guess it's fine.
