MOTN Feedings

DD turned 6 weeks yesterday and literally slept all day and had to give her LOTS of encouragement to eat her 3-4oz during the day.

The past 2 nights during her night feeds (2ish AM & 5ish AM) she is only taking 1-1.5oz and is OUT! I try to get her to take more but her little mouth is sealed tight! Needless to say she has woken up a little cranky. Anyone else's LO doing this?

Re: MOTN Feedings

  • my DD did this for a few days around then, too. she'll be 7 weeks on Wednesday and seems to be back to normal with the amount she's eating and sleeping. I asked my pedi about it and she said let her sleep at night but I can try waking her in the day and giving her less oz more frequently.

  • My LC said some babies go through their growth spurt by sleeping all the time. Maybe that's what's happening? I'd definitely try more frequent feedings if you can.
