My daughter is four weeks. She was born at 36 weeks. She is now doing this thing where she always wants to eat during the day, but in small amounts. In about three hours of little cat naps she ate a lot. 6-8 oz normally she eats two oz every three hours. Then she slept for a good five hours. This morning she wasn't eating a lot. Just now again she just wanted to eat eat eat.



This normal? She is a small baby. Born at 3lb 8oz

I have 2 children, both girls who are no longer babies. I fed "on demand" as they called it, although I don't like that terminology. My children were both healthy and happy babies reaching milestones at appropriate ages, etc. Sometimes babies need to eat more than others. Don't let it worry you unless she starts losing weight. Enjoy that little one!
