my DD is 5.5 weeks now and for the last week or so was feeding every hour for 5 min then for a couple of days 2 hourly feeds for longer: 10-20 min; and now every two hours for 10 mins or less. she is also extremley sleepy (well i think she may just be more settled actually; previously always crying to be held).
i have also noticed that her poos have gone from 4-8x over 24 hours to 2x every 24 hours.
i am getting seriously worried that she is not feeding for long enough to get the right amount of calories.
she is also fussing at the breast a lot in the evening when she cries and tugs my nipple in between taking glups of milk; this went on for about 2 hours last night. then other times completely calm...
BTW she is hard to burp sometimes...could this be colic?
what is going on?
