Help. Newborn woke up but didn't want to feed.

Hello.
If my baby doesn't feed I'll be calling my midwife. But in the meantime I am hoping someone else has some experience.

My newborn has been a good feeder. She sometimes cluster feeds but on average has been waking up every 2 hours during the day and 2 to 3 hours during the night for a feed.

Lo woke up at 4.15 am for a feed. She wasn't too enthusiastic but she had a good feed.
Then she woke up at 6.30am but wasn't interested in any milk at all. It's now 7am and she's back asleep.

I am worried she is getting sick as dh was up all the night before last with lots of vomiting and diarrhea.

Dd is a windy baby and u do feel she's been stuck with a few burps last night. She had a huge one at 4.15am.

Fingers crossed she'll want to feed in an hour.

I don't really know because I haven't dealt with that. But I'd definitely call and maybe have her seen. I don't think it's normal for them at that age to not want to eat. But I could be totally wrong on that!!

Thanks pink. I think she had bad wind. She's feeding well now I was worried she was getting sick as my husband had a vomiting bug the night before that post.

Yeah that's the only reason I would have been worried!!! I am glad she is feeding better now!! It's so scary not knowing!!!
