How old is she?

As long as she is having plenty of wet/dirty diapers she's probably just fine. She likely makes up for it with other feedings.

ETA: You could always have you Ped check out her weight/growth if that would help with any anxiety (and to make sure that she is gaining as expected).

I probably wouldn't worry too much. She's big enough to go that long without eating (my DD frequently goes much longer than that overnight) and she's probably making up for it over the rest of the day.

If you're really concerned, do you have well-baby drop-ins in your community? We have them here..they're run by the health unit and staffed by public health nurses and you can feed and then weigh your baby.

My 12 week old isn't a big eater in the morning.

L is 6 months and doesn't eat much in the AM either.

@sslm: Xander started sleeping through the night at that age and would go 6-7 hours without eating, so I think it's normal. Your LO is just doing it more in the morning instead of overnight. If she's happy and peeing enough, try not to worry about it! Maybe since she can go that long without eating, you can try to get her to do it all while she's sleeping so you can get a good stretch of sleep too?

@sslm: Oh, haha, well, I'm not sure in that case. What I do with Xander if I'll feed him around 6:00 and he goes to bed around 7:00, then I do a dreamfeed (that often kind of wakes him up) at 9:00 and he'll sleep until 5:00 when he's hungry again, then sleep for another hour or two and up for the day at 7:00. I'm not sure if this is helpful to you at all.

ETA: It definitely sounds like she's eating plenty though! If she doesn't want to eat first thing when she gets up in the morning, I wouldn't worry about it.
