My little boy is 10 weeks old on Wednesday and I'm concerned he is not eating enough. He is around 13lb (weighed 6lb 12 at birth). He feeds roughly every 3 hours but is still up twice through the night. I offer him 4oz at each feed but it's rare he will take all of that, normally only 2.5-3oz per feed. So his day normally
Looks like this... Bottle at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 6.30pm. Then he normally goes down between 7-8pm and then wakes between 12-1am and 3-4am. At night again he never takes his full 4oz.
For a while about 3 weeks ago we had him up to taking nearly 5oz most feeds during the day but he seems to be regressing and I'm worried :-( when he was up
to 5oz during the day he had dropped one of his night feeds but is back up to two again. he suffers badly from colic and the dr has given gaviscon but it hasn't made any difference, nothing has and I have tried EVERYTHING! Am at my wits end and just worried about him as he's not feeding well. Any advise/opinions welcome!
