1 month old not drinking enough?

[Miss-Boo]

I'm worried my 1 months old isn't having enough
she only seems to want 3oz every 3-4 hours and that's at a push
when she hits 2oz she falls asleep or starts to cry, if I put her down she'll cry and want her bottle again but it's such a struggle and takes ages for her to drink to the 3oz.
sometimes I have to wake her for a feed as she'll sleep over 4 hours.
she's had reflux issues but seems to be doing well on gaviscon.
I'm taking her to be weighed on tuesday but does her feeding pattern seem normal?

If she's falling asleep/crying during feeds, maybe you need to up the teat size? The feeding schedule sounds pretty normal, and as long as she's having plenty of wet diapers and no signs of dehydration & is gaining weight well, all is good. Sometimes Carmen would start drifting off during feeds and I'd have to stroke her cheek to remind her to keep eating, when she was younger.

Is LO drinking enough - I would say it sounds like she is.

At 1 month old Anna would feed every 3-4 hours and take anything from 2-4oz.

Keep with it.

That sounds pretty normal to me.

Kaitlyn is 2 months old and takes 3-4oz per feed (every 3 hours) and is gainin g weight really well. Take her to the weekly weigh-ins if you can. You'll get a good idea of if she's feeding enough by watching her growth.
