Evening,
So sorry to be popping on for advice and not partaking in any chat etc. Time seems o be running away from me at the moment.
Anyway.....
Lizzie is still tiny and the HV's are getting twitchy.
She was 6lbs at birth. She's now 5lbs15oz at 4 weeks. She's happily following the 0.04th percentile.
The problem lies in that she is awake all evening and feeds regularly, probably hourly but she sleeps from about 11pm till 7am ish. She'll sometimes wake for a feed between 2-4am.
She has a very good latch and is definitely getting all the lovely fatty milk. She's wonderfully alert and really responsive during her awake times.
Should I do as the HV say and start waking her every 3 hours overnight or can I tell them to go away
I should mention that I followed the 0.04th percentile (formula fed) as a baby and am still small now.
I'm not worried about Lizzie at all but the HV's are getting clucky about glucose levels overnight and getting her heart monitored. Is she really going to be in this much trouble from sleeping well overnight if she's feeding really well during the day and has lots of wet nappies. Poo's are a little less forthcoming but she tends to hold it in then do a big one every couple of days. Probably thanks to the infacol.
