Baby drinking enough

Hi,
FTM and I’m hoping for some help/advice before I see the dr for my LOs 8 week check.

he will be 9 weeks on Sunday and has just started sleeping through the night this week. Last feed at 9ish and waking up at 7:30am. He’s also going 4 hours now during the day between feeds but he’s not drinking much more than he was. He’s taking between 5-6oz and weighed 10lb 12oz at 6 weeks.

he’s gone from drinking 800ml to around 650ml a day and I’m worried he’s going to start losing weight. He’s happy when he’s awake and is still sleeping lots through the day but according to his weight isn’t eating enough.

should I wake him up during the night for feed even if he’s not waking up himself? Or am I ok to just keep feeding on demand even though it’s less than 150xkg?

thank you!

I think it's impossible to know if he's not getting enough unless you know his current weight @A795.

Have you had him weighed this week Wink
