Is it okay for a 3-month-old baby to sleep a lot and feed less? Expert's perspective
At 3 months old, babies are in a period of strong growth in brain, weight and motor skills. Some manifestations such as sleeping a lot or feeding less can make parents confused. However, this is not always an abnormal sign. 1. When is it normal? Sleeping a lot but alert, good reflexes: If the baby is still alert when awake, playing, has quick reflexes, and gains weight steadily, then sleeping a lot is not a cause for concern. Feeding less but still gaining weight steadily: There are babies who feed quickly, drink enough in a short time, leading to fewer feedings. 2. When should I worry? If your child has the following signs, you should take him or her to the doctor: Lethargy, difficult to wake up Stops breastfeeding completely or breastfeeds very little in many feedings Poor weight gain, not urinating enough times (less than 6 wet diapers/day) Dry lips, sunken eyes, wrinkled skin - signs of dehydration #biolizin #kembiolizin

Hi Mummies! From ur own experience, how long did your baby use newborn diapers before switching to S to M to ...? Or if you can remember how many packets of newborn diapers were used in total (Size of the baby if dun mind mentioning) I have some samples and also bought a few different brands. I'm not sure if I "overkilled" in stocking up the newborn diapers. #firsttimemom #pregnancy
