I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, maybe someone could move it if not?
My lo is 6 weeks tomorrow, on Saturday she was sleeping a lot more, I was waking her at 3 hours - her usual interval between feeds - and she would barely take 2oz. I thought maybe it was a growth spurt, so let her sleep and fed her when she woke up. She took her usual 4/5oz.
But on Sunday she only took 3oz bottles (one 4oz) and overnight she took 1.5/2oz. This coincides with me starting her on colief. I just tried offering her a bottle without colief to see would she take it but she still just took 3oz.
Is this normal? Although she slept more on Saturday she didn't seem to sleep much more yesterday so I'm not sure if it's a growth spurt. She's alert between feeds and having normal number of wet nappies so far, I'm just concerned about her losing weight as she lost so much after she was born and took quite a while to start gaining.
