[quote=Anonymous]My baby had a perhaps similar issue - he had an undiagnosed tongue tie which made it so he had to work really hard to extract enough milk while breastfeeding. He fed like every 2 hours for a LONG time and would wear himself out and fall asleep on me and then when he woke he’d eat again over and over. It was really taxing as a first time mom. He wouldn’t take a bottle and then when he did it was only from me. Once we started nightly bottles he drank SO much, it became apparent his daytime intake from breastfeeding was lacking. He’d drink like 12 or more ounces from the bottle before bed and then sleep great. We did visit a LC and they did a weighted feed and said it was fine (the feed took almost an hour though!) and I just didn’t know better at the time. For my second baby we immediately got her tongue tie lasered and never had this problem. [/quote]
