Reduced feeding!!

jade

Hi, my little boy is 6 weeks old on Friday. He normally takes 4oz in bottles every 2 hours during the day and night. He’s recently started taking 2oz every 1/2-2 hours. He’s sleeping fine during the day and at night and bringing his wind up fine. Nappies are wet and dirty as normal. Is he going through a growth spurt?

My son started eating less and on less of a schedule and he was sleeping a little more. He did it for about a week and is now back to eating more and sleeping less. We figured it was a growth spurt.

Yeah it’s probably a growth spurt then! ☺️

I don’t know amounts since I’m breastfeeding, but my daughter is doing the same! She was six weeks on Monday. She has been eating way more frequently and for shorter amounts of time. I’m wondering if it’s a growth spurt or just comfort nursing? Must be normal though if we’re all experiencing the same!

My little girl is the same! Not sure if it’s a growth spurt but she’s 6 weeks tomorrow and also having less milk but more often 🤔

Yeah same but as they’re the same age and doing the same thing it gives me some hope that it’s just a developmental leap xxx

I just hope it’s nothing to worry about and it passes soon!
