My 5 week old son, was a great eater until
a few days ago. He was taking a 4/5 oz
bottle of formula almost every feed.
However for the last few days he has only
been taking 1.5 - 3 oz per feed, and this
is worrying. He tends to now fall asleep
on the bottle after about 2 oz (sometimes
less), and it is impossible to wake him,
(tried the taking off the nappy, tickling,
blowing on him etc). He has no
temperature or illness, and weighs a
healthy 10lbs.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this - or
can offer any help or advice?
Regards,
a worried mummy. :(

Babies go through changes at different
ages and 5-6 weeks is one of the times.
As long as he is wetting 4 diapers a day
do not be alarmed, if you see he is not
wetting his diaper, then call a doc.
