Lolli is 3 months old today. For the past couple of days she hasn't been wanting to eat as often as usual (usual for us is every 2-3 hours except for 1 5-hour stretch at night). Yesterday she ate about every 4 hours with a few 5-6 hour stretches. She has eaten 3 times today: 12am, 5:30am, and a really short one around 11:30am.
She is not feverish, does not mind laying on either side while sucking on a pacifier, and is her usual smiley-then-fussy-then-smiley self. She's just not hungry. Lauren & Zach tried bottle feeding her and spoon feeding her. She just played with the bottle and smiled at the spoon in her mouth. All the milk just dribbled out. Lauren tried breastfeeding her in several different positions. No luck.
Lauren called the doctor an hour ago and he said not to worry unless she goes 12 hours without eating (or her behavior changes). We've been really busy these past 3 or 4 days, with Christmas shopping and visiting relatives. We're staying home on the couch today in hopes that the "understimulation" will help her want to eat again.
