Has anyone else noticed a loss of appetite in LO at around this age?
DD is ebf and huge, about 19lbs. She was eating lots a couple of weeks ago, growth spurt I presume. But in the last week her appetite has decreased. I time her feeds, and I am pretty sure the reduction isn't just her becoming more efficient at feeding, it feels like more than that.
She typically used to feed whenever she woke or soon after for maybe 6-10 mins, then feed again before going back to sleep, again for something like 8 mins. I have oversupply and fast let down so I think she probably got a lot ofmilk during these feeds. And her weight gain and number of wet and dirty nappies implies this too.
However for the last week she's not wanted more than 2 or 3 mins of feeding during some of the waking periods. And today she's barely had 15 mins since she woke up at 7.30; it's nearly 7pm now.
She seems well, pink faced, no fever, smiling at lots (and grumbling at lots too, which is normal for her).
Lots of wet nappies today, no poop yet but she doesn't every day, probably goes 5 days a week.
I'm a bit worried her sleep tonight will be awful because she hasn't filled up during the day, plus I am wondering if something is wrong.
Any thoughts? Advice on whether I should go to the GP tmrw or waittill Monday, or does this sound normal?
