[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard to say.  I would accept the comments of your experienced nanny as a good reason to talk to your pediatrician, for sure.  But there is a wide range in what is normal for sleeping.

Is your baby eating formula?  Breastfed babies typically sleep a bit lighter and need to be fed more often than formula fed in my experience.

Is your baby growing and gaining weight normally?  Does he seem lethargic or alert when awake?  Is he filling diapers regularly?

OP here. He is mostly breastfed ( pumped milk) with one bottle for of formula. He eats 5 times a day - 4 6oz breast milk bottles and 1 8oz formula bottle before bed. Sometimes he will take less at that feed and we give him a dreamfeed before bed but has only happened a couple of times.

He is growing but I’m not sure how much he weighs. He is now in 3-6 month and some 6 month clothes and wears a size 2 diaper after his 3 month grow spurt. We change his diaper 8-10 times a day and he is always wet.

He is very active when he is awake. Constantly flipping to his stomach and spinning himself on his play gym to grab at toys, looking around everywhere, babbling and interacting. He sometimes has a fussy period for the last hour before bed but generally he’s pretty easy and playful. [/quote]

Four 6 oz bottles and 1 8 oz bottle???? He is drinking a lot. That’s great! I don’t think you should worry at all (obviously talk to your pediatrician). Honestly I would have second thoughts on this nanny of your who thinks she is an expert and is making you feel bad about your baby.[/quote]
