Feeding a Breastfed Baby

[AmyKidsCo]

I have a little guy who just turned 4 mos. He was 7 weeks when he started with me and the first couple of weeks he slept and slept and slept, eating very little. I think it was because he was in a strange place with strange smells and sounds, and he was so little. After a couple of weeks he started sleeping less and eating more, and now he easily eats 15 oz a day.

I wouldn't wake him, he's probably just getting used to the new environment and will start sleeping less and eating more soon.

Thanks everyone for all your input.

Since I posted this he's actually drank almost all his milk every day. A few days an oz or so was wasted, but all his bottles are at least being offered.

My first son never drank more than 12oz at daycare, but this little guy is much bigger/fatter and he's already showing me he does things a lot different than his big brother did!
