Hi Mimi,
Thank you for your reply. He started drinking 4 oz at a stretch. He was crying if I stop at 3 oz. So, I made sure, I waited atleast 4 hours before his next feed. And gave some water if he won't stop crying. I made sure I gave only 4 oz a day. He also started sleeping long hours (6 to 7) during night. He was having 22-24 oz a day. This went on for a week. Then I called advice nurse and she said, I am feeding too much at once. So, I started giving him 3.25 oz every feeding. Now the feeding amount per day has increased to 24-26 oz. And he wakes up in the middle of the night. Also, I am feeding more than before. Which one to follow? I'm confused.
Also he doesn't sleep more than 30-40 minutes between feeds during the day time. I rock the bassinet for almost 30 minutes and he sleeps only for 10 minutes after that. He cries a lot. He tries to put his thumb but not successful. I gave pacifier he doesn't like it. The only way he sleeps atleast an hour is, if I walk with him on my shoulders or on his tummy on my lap. Which leaves me with no time for anything :cry:
