10 week old only has 2oz before bed?!
« on: March 17, 2016, 20:10:06 pm »
My 10 week old 9lb baby (born 37 weeks st 5lb) only takes between 3-4 oz during the day- usually 3oz and she feeds every 3 hours (but could go longer tbh) however at her bedtime feed she only takes 1-2 oz!?! Her teatime feed is usually around 4.30-5 and she'll generally have 2-3 oz.
I'm just unsure of what to do because bedtime feed can be a struggle to fill her up!!

What flow teat do you have her on? What's your day like- she just could be too tired by bedtime to take a decent feed, especially if the flow is too slow for her.

How soon does she need feeding after the small bedtime feed?

Hiiiiiiiiiii,
We use 1st teat...she sleeps from about 5.15-6.15ish on a good day in either car or pram as this nap has been a probelsm from the get go...she wakes between 11-12 for her first night feed then between 3-4 for her second night feed then she's usually good until around 6.30am when she starts to stir...

Your nights sound great!

I would move to the next size teat, it sounds like it's too slow so she's getting tired before she's finished the bottle and giving up.

That's not every night! That's a good night! Yep I'll try the faster flow ones!
Thanks Laura
