baby not eating enough...help

edited September 2011 in Ages & Stages
my son aiden is 12weeks old, and I breast fed till he was 11weeks now his feeds are mixed. But the problem is he doesnt really have breast unless he wakes up in the night. And in the day he only has 3/4 oz of milk each feed, when the tin says at his age he should be having 7oz each feed. Is my boy ok? X

  • My son was like that. He ate four oz and I didn't think anything of that until his cousin (born a week apart) came over and he was eating 8 oz. Double what I was feeding! I felt like a terrible mom. I told my Dr and they said adults eat different amounts, so do babies. She asked me if he's fussy a lot (checking to see if he was hungry and I just let him cry) and she asked how many pee diapers I have a day. She said he was fine and now he's two and a half and in the 75% for weight and height. I would ask your dr but don't stress over it. Good luck :)
