I’m am so stressed about my 10 week olds eating habits 😭 she was 8 lbs at birth and is now currently 14 lbs so pediatrician is generally unconcerned. However, I swear she would only eat every 4-5 hours if I let her, but the problem is that she will only take a typical max of 3 oz per feeding. Sometimes 4 oz. And only one overnight bottle. So I am struggling to get ounces in her. I am trying really really hard to let it go but can’t help but worry she will lose weight or become dehydrated. If by some miracle she took 4 oz every four hours during the day and 4 oz overnight, that would be 20 oz total, which is what she is taking on average right now anyway. But I am worried her intake will drop even lower if I space out the feedings more. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? We have tried different bottles/flow rates/formulas etc. Maybe more just looking for solidarity that this is normal and she’s going to be okay and I need to stop stressing 🙃
