Not drinking as much!!

[nessajane]

hi girls,

For weeks now tyler has been drinking 5ozs every 3-4 hours but the last week hes only been drinking 3-4oz a time.

I asked my HV about it as some days all hes drinking is 15-18oz and she said not too worry along as hes gaining weight hes okay...BUT today since 6am all he's drunk is 9oz?? hes happy enough so i dont think hes unwell but surely this is not right???

thanks x

Some days i find Emilia won't have as much or has less interest (i breastfeed so hard to quantify) but then some days we're (as in adults) not as hungry as other days. I think as long as they are having something, don't seem disturbed and are gaining weight everythings okay x

Hi,
Aidan did exactly the same! Started to drink 5oz then suddenly wouldnt take more than 4oz at a time. Been like that ever since....until yesterday, think he's hit a growth spurt! 6oz now!!!

As long as LO's gaining weight and is happy I'd say it's fine. x

Yes they have hungry days and not so hungry days just like adults, he will be fine if hes still gaining weight hun x
