eating habits

okay so DD had been eating 23-25oz a day for about a week and a half straight. now as of 3-4 days ago she is barely taking 18-20oz a day. she was waking every 3 hours almost on the nose to eat and now i have to wake her at 3.5-4 hours. the last 2 days were weird because we were without power and had to go to different places so i think she was out of sorts a bit. anyway, she is having good amounts of wet diapers and her one poopy every day, should i be worried she isn't getting enough to eat? i am gonna try a bigger nipple size because she is eating soooooo slow and sucking really hard. TIA

Re: eating habits

  • i moved up a size and she seems to be eating more "normal" the last 2 times. i didn't think about growth spurt. could that be why she is sleeping so much more than she was?
