Of course this happens on Christmas Day!!!
Dd is not breast fed and never really was. For the last few days, she has refused to her eat lactose-free formula, and only eats 2oz at a time (if at all) every 4 hours or so. It's as if she eats just to cut the edge off of her hunger. At night, she only drinks 4oz every 3-4 hours or so, and appears to only do so because she's half asleep.
She's up every 3-4 hours at night to feed (making up the calories from the day?).
She's 17.5 weeks old today. (Almost 4 calendar months.)
Her uncle is a pediatrician, but it's in the middle of the night where he is.
She's got a 4-month appointment at the start of January, so I'll ask what to do then.
Is there a quick and dirty way to get this girl to eat? I'm pretty sure she's starving
Has anyone experienced this before?
