Normal to eat more and then less?

[AlwaysPraying]

So my baby has been a pokey eater always eating just a bit less than what he should for his weight. He's been eating more and more this past week (he's now 4 and a half weeks old). Forthe past few days he's been eating less and less. Not by much but for a few days he was eating 19, 20, 21oz then it went down by an ounce daily for the past few days.

Is this ok? Everyday for a week his one feed at three am he ear 4 oz but tonight it was only three oz. I hate to be so picky with his feeds I just can't drop my worrying and need to know he's doing ok. I've got a dr appt next week to check his weight. He's gaining I can tell by his clothing size, he's growing out of his tiny ones.

I know I'm obsessing but am I normal to worry like this? Is It ok that he eats more and then less? I know logically it's fine but I worry!!

Hi hun, Mine never had the same quantities everyday. He wasnt a big drinker when he was tiny (he still takes less than the recomended). I used to follow his lead, & give him what he wants. Some days he took more other days less. If he's adding weight, there is nothing to worry about xx

put it this way, do you eat and drink the exact same amount every day? I know i dont neither will your baby. Hes doing fine x
