My 1 month old son is formula fed. Had some fussiness. Changed formula 5 days ago. Now seems to be calmer, yet sleeping more and actually eating less. He is still have many poops and wet diapers. I have called the pediatrition and waiting for a response. He is other wise acting normally. Should I have cause for concern or is this just a growth spurt or adjustment period? Thanks for any input!
as long as he's not sluggish and still waking up for bottles every 3 hours or so, he should be OK. don't let him go for longer than 4 or 5 hours without eating (even at night). def. check w. the pediatrician though just in case.
Some babies just sleep more than others. Maybe with the new formula he is more satisfied. I think as long as he is producing poop and pee then he's fine. My twin girls were like this so I moved their feedings to every 4hrs instead of 3 because they wouldn't wake up to eat, and it helped.
My now 4 mo did the same thing at 1 month. He could be going through a growth spurt, but as long as he alert when he's awake and producing wet/soiled diapers he's fine.
Infants change so much, this phase you're experiencing is normal. As long as he is eating and going to the bathroom then he's fine and I see no cause for alarm.
Perhaps the book "The Vital Touch" by Sharon Heller will help you. Check it out by searching Amazon for it.
Good luck with everything.
