Should I be worried? (baby not nursing much)

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Julius is 7+ weeks. He is still a little jaundice and the ped is fine with that. But he hardly nurses but is gaing weight like crazy. I think he may nurse really fast and get his fill in like 2 min. I am used to nursing my dd like 45 min each time, and her weight gain was slow. My boy gains about a lb a week even though he doesn't nurse much. He just wants to lok around or sleep, like nursing just isn't that important to him. Should I be worried?

If he's gaining weight, seems content and has plenty of dirty/wet diapers then he's fine. Some babies just eat faster. I've had a lot of people comment on how fast Olivine eats, each baby is just different.
