question about intake
« on: December 16, 2011, 05:19:27 am »
DD takes about 4.5 ounces at both night feeds and the dream feed.  During the day she will take about 2.5-3 ounces and be totally done. She goes 3 hours easily between feeds.  Is this normal?  Should I be working harder to get more in?  She has done a few nights of 6 hour stretches but these are never back to back and mostly wakes earlier around 2:30ish for her first feed.  I loved the night she woke at 5am and not again until 8!!!!

That sounds quite normal to me! She's only teeny still so won't take big feeds yet. You could try her on the next size teat to see if that gets her to take another oz or so in the day if you are still on the slowest flow teats.
