My 6 week old will only drink half what she does on day feeds. Normal?

Mine is about the same I would say! Perhaps because they're tired maybe? X

Normal as the night feeds will eventually stop as they’re looking to take all their calories and nutrients etc during the day 😊 maybe they’re ready to phase some out? X

Does she wake for the bottle or are you waking her?
I wake her, she’s a lazy girl! She drinks lots in the day

If she’s above birth weight there’s no need to wake 😊

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps:
"It's not uncommon for newborns to have varying feeding patterns, especially between day and night. At 6 weeks old, your baby may be more alert and willing to feed during the day, while nighttime feedings can be shorter or less frequent. However, it's important to ensure she is gaining weight appropriately and having enough wet and dirty diapers, which are good indicators of adequate intake.
If you're concerned about her feeding habits, consider tracking her daily intake and diaper output for a few days. This information can help you assess if she's getting enough nourishment. How many feedings is she having at night, and how does her weight gain look?"

Maybe she's just not hungry enough. Id leave her to wake on her own 🙂
