Background
LB is 12 weeks on Tuesday. He was 9lb 4oz born and 14lb 14.5lb at last weigh last week. So he is a big boy.
He’s never had the biggest appetite though more of a grazer and was initially feeding 2-3oz every 1.5-2hrs up until about 8 weeks.
Around 8-10 weeks started doing 5-6oz every 3-4hrs.
we have an app in December for tongue tie assessment as this is also suspected.
issue.
so from Monday he has a bout of gastroenteritis (likely caught of my 2yr) couldn’t keep anything down for about 3 days. Took him doctors twice he was and is still however extremely happy in himself smiling laughing etc like this even when ill.
no longer vomiting from Thursday. Thought it would take a few days to settle but now he just does not seem interested in his milk at all. Doesnt really shout or ask he can go upto 4hrs without asking. I don’t like letting him go longer than this so will offer 5oz but he’s yet to take more than 3-4oz mostly. again is extremely happy and full of smiles. Wet and dirty nappies.
he seems to have settled on 4oz 3-4hourly. Is this ok for a baby his age/size. I’m terrified he’s not feeding enough?
I am taking him weigh in clinic on Thursday to check where we stand.
