Is my daughter eating enough?

Taylor

My daughter is 7 weeks old tomorrow and is only taking in about 17-18 oz per day. She’s super colicky so sometimes getting her to eat is impossible with all the grunting and pushing. Her pedi told us we don’t have to wake her up for nighttime feedings anymore but she’ll sleep from 10pm to 7am without waking up to eat. Is she getting enough food?

Ps. She’s formula fed on allimentum and we just started reflux meds

Okay I saw this post like a thousand times. you must have posted in several places. She’s perfectly fine. During sleep there are a lot of developmental thing going on, I wouldn’t wake her. If she’s gaining weight, she’s fine.

I’m not really sure how to work this app yet so I posted it in 3 different groups. Thank you, majority vote it to let her sleep and that’s totally fine with me😊😴

It’s usually 2.5 times their body weight in oz 😊 (five or take, doesn’t have to be on the mark exactly) but good rule of thumb to go by!
