Hi, my daughter was drinking 120ml in each feed every 3-4 hours and having 4 periods of alert time a day lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Over the past 3 days she has been sleeping more and only having 2 alert periods of about two hours and rarely drinks her full bottle. She has been having between 60-90 mls a time. She appears to be fine in herself happy and bright when awake and plenty of wet and dirty nappies. I have changed her milk for the night feeds but she doesn't appear to be affected by that. She falls asleep on the bottle. Any help would be great

What milk do you have her on and what have you changed her night milk too? Have you tried a faster flow teat at all? Is she having good naps during the day as tiredness can sometimes make them drink less.
