Baby not feeding and changes in pattern/ behaviour help!
Hi all my baby boy is turning 12 weeks, recently I’ve noticed things changed for him. I’m a first time mum so not sure if these changes are normal but I really feel like there’s something wrong.
He’s sleeping more which I understand through the night but he will sleep at 10 and wake at 6/8am I try to wake him up for feed but he’s really out and sleepy. Now is that normal?
Feeds: he’s pushing his bottles away I can’t breastfeed anymore as I’ve got super low supply but now he pushes his bottles away and won’t feed every four hours. I’m trying to have him have 5 bottles of 120mls every feed but he’s either won’t have it, won’t finish the bottle or falls asleep.
Nappies: how many wet and poo nappies minimum should they have? He’s doing a lot less than before now but is doing around 2 soiled nappies per day which I think is not enough?
He cries and grows irritable a lot more like he will fall asleep and wake up screaming. Or if he was put down he will start crying and screaming.
I’m exhausted overstimulated but most of all really worried that he needs to be seen but if he does idk if this is normal or what to tell them
At the 6-8 week check up with the health visitor had your baby gained all of his birth weight back? If so everything sounds absolutely normal to me 🙂 Theres no need to wake if all the birth weight has regained and showing signs of good growth. What teat size are you using currently? 2 soiled nappies sound absolutely fine. How many wet nappies? The crying and growing irritable sounds like a growth spurt, it will pass I promise 🙂 Seen your post on the front page, not from this group but hopefully my comments are reassuring for you. Just remember to be kind to yourself and know that your doing an amazing job xx
