Decreased appetite and increased sleeping

[faithmotion]

Hey all. Baby born 33 weeks on sept 24. Currently 7 weeks adjusted. Noticed he’s sleeping more and eating way less. Used to down 150ml every 3 hours. Now he’s only getting 50mL before passing out. Called our pediatrician and she wasn’t concerned at all.

Could this be a growth spurt or something?

@faithmotion What size nipple are you using? When it got too challenging for my son to drink as much as he wanted out of the ultra preemie and preemie nipples he would tire out and fall asleep. Increasing the flow rate helped.

@faithmotion Likely (depending on his current weight) 50mL every 3hrs is not enough to stay hydrated if this is happening consistently. Is he still having good wet diapers?
