11 weeks, feeding less, sleeping more?

[Lady H]

For the past two days my LO seems to eat less (100ml instead of 150ml per feed) and sleeping lots more during the day. She seems ok in herself but I'm worried she's not getting enough feed.

I changed to size 2 teats as she seems to struggle with the bottle and kept falling asleep, and she took 200ml at 6 am. However at 9.45 she took 100ml and is asleep again.

Anyone else have this problem?

Could it be the heat? Or maybe dropping a feed? I noticed my son did this when he was dropping his midnight feed he took less and less till he slept through it?

my child has slowly been taking less milk as I increase her regular table food. As long as they get enough liquid during the day I wouldn't worry.

My DD has been like this, she doesn't take anywhere near as much milk as I read that she should but she is gaining weight, she's alert, her nappy's are good so I just follow her needs.

Have you heard of the wonder weeks/growth spurts, my DD has just had the 3rd one and yet again, she was off her feeds a bit. I changed to size 2 teats and that works at times but then at times, it just seems she just wants 100ml of a 180ml bottle; that is quite a lot of waste but my HV told me its better that they leave milk then be draining bottles, with the former, they're taking just what they need

Rereading that I realize you said 11 weeks not months. Sorry
