10 week old drinking less sleeping more

[Mabe1991]

Hey,

Should I be concerned that my 10 week old is drinking less and sleeping more? She seems content in herself when she wakes etc. She is still smiling happy on her playmate gurgling.

She usually drinks 6oz every 3-4 hours and wakes in the night. Shes now drinking 4oz wont take anymore and crys if I try and put the bottle in her mouth after winding at 4oz, also not waking in the night for a feed and sleeping 10 hours. This has been 3 days in a row. Is this normal for this age or should I be concerned?

(I know your not GPs I would just like to know if anyone else has had the same)

Thanks x

How are her nappies? I would speak to your health visitor about it just to get some advice - might be worth keeping an eye on weight and monitoring nappies.

My twins never slept through but pretty sure my friends whose babies slept through said they fed more when they were awake.

Have you looked at the recommended amounts for formula at her age? Or is she on EBM as they tend to take less?

If she’s happy in herself and good nappy output I wouldn’t be massively worried but still worth a chat with HV to know anything you should be looking out for.
