[quote=Anonymous]How often are you feeding? My jaundiced baby was like this - would not take formula, was happy to nurse, but just took in very little and very sleepy for her first 3-4 weeks. I had plenty of milk and it was my second child (first was an enthusiastic nurser who never went through the newborn sleepy phase) so it wasn't lack of experience. We wound up feeding every 90 minutes until she worked through it. She would take an ounce or so over 30 minutes, and then refuse more. But an hour or at most two later, she would do it again. Put it on repeat and did that. Exhausting, but it wroked. She was also very slow to gain weight until close to 8 weeks. Remained a grazer for a long time, probably until age 4. She would eat small amounts often, and still prefers that mode if permitted.[/quote]
