2 Month Old Night Feeding

[Irishmummy1993]

I’m a FTM and my 9 week old DD has always had more milk at night than during the day. During the day she will have anywhere from 1oz to 4oz but rarely if ever finishes a 5oz bottle that’s always offered. She also refuses a bedtime feed 90% of the time, or will only have 1-2oz before sleeping at night.
Then she will wake up 2/3 hours later and have a full 5/6oz bottle, then 2/3 hours later have the same and a full one in the morning! She will be just as hungry after daytime naps but will just not finish a bottle.
It’s obviously too soon to wean her off night feeds but I would like her to get more calories during the day if possible for when the time does come.
Any advice appreciated! X

I don't think you need to be worrying about a babies calorie intake.

A rule of thumb my HV advised me was, if a baby is draining an entire bottle, so say in your case, a 4oz bottle every single feed, and not being sick then it's time to move up an ounce.

If you're unsure speak to your HV.

She's so little still and she may just turn it around herself. I know it's cold but getting her outside each day will help her differentiate day and night.

How often are you feeding her in the day now?
