DD is 3m. She started out on the 9th centile, was up near the 50th at her 8 week check and last week was back down to near the 9th again.

I went to weigh her as she just doesn't seem to feed very much. Maybe 4 or 5 feeds a day and will go 12 hours at night without a feed. DS fed every 2 hours around the clock so this seems odd to me!!

Anybody think I should wake her up at night? she is bright and alert and happy. We get lots of poo every 4 days or so and lots of wet nappies. I'm inclined to think that she is just small and is OK, but that might just be me enjoying my sleep (we co sleep btw so milk is on tap as it were)

I might try a dreamfeed at around 11 pm or something, that way you can not mess too much with your own sleep give her the opportunity to increase her intake.

Bumping for you. I'm constantly worrying if my 10-week-old is receiving enough milk and whether my supply will suffer - although he feeds 6 or 7 times a day.
