Question: my son is 6 days old today and he usually wakes up in the afternoon and likes to be talked to and look at the christmas tree. well this past afternoon he slept thru figured it would be a long night but he has slept amazing. I know its normal for babies to sleep more while going thru a growth spurt so I'm guessing that happening. But is it normal for them to also stop eatong so much. He was up to eating 2 ozs of formula every feeding but for the past twelve hours he has only eat 1 oz evrry feeding is this normal should i be concerned?
When they're that young you should wake him to eat. I know the sleeping is nice😩 but u don't want him dehydrated
he doesnt sêem sick no fevers and still an happy baby but i have been watching him because RSV is going around
@knpinson, no he didnt have jaundice. I know they sleep alot and im not worried about dehydrating because he is peeing just fine. Just wondering if its normal for them to go back in feeding because I dont remember my oldest son doing that.
Also, anything involving your sons health should definitely go through your doctor first and foremost. I've seen a lot of bad advice given and it's hard to sit back and not correct it 😜
When they are so young, they do sleep a ton and their eating isn't a lot, but you want to be careful not to dehydrate your baby. I used to take my little mans clothes off so he wasn't so warm and cozy. Even then, he still would fall asleep in feedings. Was your baby jaundice?
My 3 week old daughter is 5lbs 11 oz, is it normal that shes is only eating 1.5 oz per feeding?
my 3 week old has been eating a ridiculous amount. This cannot be normal. He is now eating 4 oz every 3/4 hours sometimes even 2 hrs. right now he went 3/4 hours without a feeding and then at 6 oz! that can't be normal. right?

So my son has never been breast feed or bottle feed (he eats by his feeding tube) and the last couple of days he has been trying to eat my breast and when I say eat I mean bitting them idk why and I told the nurse's and they said he might be teething I really hope he is lol and he is fighting sleep so bad right now
So I went to the doctors for my baby today nd they are telling me he's too big!!! He will be 3 months old on the 10th!! He is 14 Lbs 12 oz he was born 7Lbs 10 oz. It wasn't his normal doctor tho...his usual doctor knows that he eats 5-6 oz nd said it was fine but now they are telling me to take him down to 3oz!!!! Idk what to do he freaks out when I stop feeding him at 3....I feel sooooo bad!!!!!
So I’m starting to freak out. Carson has been progressively getting sicker over the past two weeks. He has a pretty severe cough and in the past week he has coughed so hard he’s vomited twice. I took him to the doctor on Friday and they said it wasn’t RSV and he just had a cold that would have to run its course. Last night he woke up scream crying while coughing and sounded like he was in pain which never happens so I picked him up and comforted him but he did the same thing at 1 and 4. I’m so w...
@zaysmomma, he wakes up to eat just not eating as much as he has been eating
