normally i wld not wake a 3month+ old baby for feeds, bcos he can go longer w/o feeds or can make up for feeds later. however since your baby is having problems with weight gain, i'd do as your PD advised and wake to feed. i read in Gina Ford's Contented Little Baby Book that for low weight babies, when they sleep through feeds, lack of food makes them more sluggish & sleepy, thus they miss even more feeds - it's a vicious cycle. So these babies need to feed on schedule, rather than feed on demand.
Milkbags
I am very disppointed with Medela Milkbags, I stored my EBM in 20 Medela milkbags. And on Sat, I thaw one of them, and to my horror, the milkbag broke at the bottom, and the EBM leaked out :-( So sad, got to clean the fridge and wasted my milk. Then I thaw another bag and it is the same. Don't use Medela milkbags.
ooh ... so your bb is 2 weeks older than mine ... yeah, beside feeding time, my boi is quite adorable and sweet. Starting from this week, he will not yell when he wakes up, instead he will play on his own. Just hope that this stage will pass soon and he will love to drink milk again ..
As he is on partial BF, i thought of changing the FM from Enfalac to Friso ... dun know whether it will help or not.
hair dropping: i went to see a dermatologist coz i tot my hair was dropping very badly. She explained to me that it is a common phrase for mothers esp during 3rd - 6th month. Our bodies were conserving our nutrients for our babies during our pregnancy so hair growth & drop kinda stop. Now that our baby is out the natural cycle of hair growing will resume but the old hair must drop first..... so this is why we experience more hair fall now. It will be fine soon. She did not give me anything coz i am also still BF-ing.
i tried comparing when feeding him with EBM and FM. I realise that he fuss lesser when drinking EBM, not sure it is because i usually feed him with EBM during my journey to my MIL place and he like the car ride or what.
During day time, he is on FM, whereas only night time, i will give him EBM.
Just wondering if i change the FM and different taste, will he be better and guai guai and drink.

my PD, Dr Ong from TMC said that it is normal for babies to go through this fussing stage when drinking milk. but i am abit concerned as my boi is small size at birth, and scare that he is not gaining weight well.
Babes, hope to be there. Oh btw I missed out the details abt this.. shall we brg yoga mat? Those tt I went to also include a blanket to swing bb inside, hence we can include tt.

steph (superbunny) - my boy also a light sleeper initially, can't seem to sleep more than 40 mins. Then I started yaolan.. initially was oki, then the same pattern started again. Then I let him sleep on his tummy. Now he can sleep for 3 hrs and miss his feed Jus sharing..
ur bb drink 5 times perday, means daytime or 24 hr incl nite feed. my bb drink 4 times at day time, then midnite, 1 bottle, following by latching till morning 9am..izzit ok?
Dolly,
heard that bb will familiar with the timing n type of milk, emm, for my bb, if i give him EBM at midnite feed, he will fuss, but if give FM at that time, he ok.
veronica, my boy also slp in yaolan, but seems like yaolan make him miss feed, n he always fuss during feeding time, so i feed him inside yaolan. so cant bring bb go out, coz he doesnt like to be carried during feeding, must lie down or on rocker, yaolan
Piggy_mummy, my bb drink 5 times for 24 hrs, 1st feed at 6am, then last feed at 6 or 7pm, then slp till next morning... I guess as long as bb put on wt, it is oki
