Baby not feeding enough

2023-10-31 11:13:36
My 10 week old baby is only drinking 30 - 40 ml of formula milk every 3 hours. And weighs 5 kg as of now. He's putting on 100 g  this week is it alright? How much should the awake window be for babies this old. He sleeps a lot during day. Do let me know if all these are normal

For 10 week old wake window should be around 45 min to 1 hr not more than that. If his pee count is okay that is 6-10 times per day and he is gaining weight he is drinking enough milk

Make sure you're making formula milk in proper composition,not too thick or thin . Weight gain also depends on birth weight . Babies mostly sleep at this age if fed well .
