My little Bertie is being a weirdo!
For the past four weeks, he has worked like clockwork - waking every 3-4 hours for a feed and taking anything from 60 - 150 ml (he was 8lbs 9 oz born, so had quite the appetite) he's formula fed and for someone who had their heart set on Breastfeeding, I'm still feeling the old mothers guilt! Anyway that's a different matter!
For the past two days now, he's been having a few feeds where he's gone seven hours before being remotely interested in feeding....
So yesterday he went -
4.30 pm - 11.30 pm @ 60ml
11.30 - 5.30 am @150 ml
5.30 -9.30 am @ 150 ml
9.30 - 4.30 pm @ 150 ml
Now waiting for 11.30 to roll on by and see if he's at all interested. He's still having wet nappies, he can be soothed if he has a grizzle and he seems otherwise content - it's just very worrying after he was so consistent!
It says on the aptamil box (I don't expect my baby to follow guidelines or manuals as he's an individual) but they say at 4-8 weeks a baby should be having 150ml and taking 5 feeds in 24 hours... So if he follows two more seven hour cycles he'll be having 5 feeds in 25 hours... I just don't know!
