moneybagsmammy, can you give more info? What about weaning and food intake during the day?

offer a dummy?

taking an ounce indicates she is not that hungry

does she have a late evening feed..?

If she is only drinking an ounce it sounds like thirst rather than hunger, and she would be better off with water.

It's not a problem for her if she's still waking up, if that's what'#s worrying you.
