this thread is a couple of years old, I'm not sure how active the OP is on the forum any longer as she now has a toddler to run after ;)

you may want to start your own thread asking for help? see if anyone has had the same :flower:
 
thank you to all that replied and eased my mind. everyone that i knew never hear of their child being this way. I will keep watch of her weight and go from there. Alot happened last month and I made some drastic changes to her diet last month, so maybe that could be a reason for the decrease appetite. I guess i will return to my normal feeding routine and diet and watch her weight. hopefully she will gain more than 1 lb next month!! i was so in distraught that i changed pediatricians that night.
 
My 3 mo daughter doesn't cry for the bottle when she is hungry. I took her to her doc n he was concerned that she might be autistic n said that all babies should cry n be fed on demand only. I wasn't that concern about her feeding because she was taking 4-5 oz every 4 hours, but in the last month she has eaten only 3-4 oz every feeding! She usually finishes the bottle but now I have to burp her N wait to see if she will take it again within the hour, something I haven't done until she turned 2 mo! She gained 1lb since last month n is alert n happy. She started cooing n now she gets easily woken up from sleep n takes 1 or 2, 20-45 min naps bw feedings n she use to tAke 1-2 hr naps too!! First time mom concerned that my daughter autistic! PleAse help

Hi hun. I think what ur doc told u is nonesense. Mine used to sleep almost all day. Until he was 7.5 mnths old he used to sleep 13 hrs at night & takes 4 hrs naps. He's sooo alert & hyper. At 8 mnths it all changed. Now he fghts sleep like crazy & he cat nap once or twice a day. His development is great & he doesnt show any signs of autism. Until now he's not keen about food or bottles, & we schedule his feeds since he was tiny. It takes him 1 hr to finish 1 bottle & he never went for more than 6 oz bottles. xx


thank you!! Did you wake your little one up every 4 hours even if he is napping to feed and also wake him up in the morning to feed. I was told by my pediatrician to wake my DS if she sleeps past 8 hours and also during day if she naps. Also, did you have an issue with eating the same amount or less of formula per day for the one month already.
 
i dunno tbh as i dont know how old you lo is, but by 9 weeks Lana was sleeping through all night and she never cried for a feed when she woke, or any other time for that matter as by the time she got to 6/8 weeks it was very easy to read when she needed a bottle

Update please

This thread is very old so I will lock to save confusion as the original poster hasn't been here for years.
Feel free to start your own thread to ask for help :flower:
