She is finally gaining weight but SLOWLY. She is 9.6 and was 9.3 at birth. She has only gained three ounces in the last week and before she was not even at her birth weight. She will not open her eyes but will cry and fuss when in this state, needless to say it is scary. Other times she is alert and active. She could be lethargic from lack of food, we are unsure and my ped is unsure, not paniced yet but not happy either... If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate it ammensly, I have to wake her up to feed and sometimes I miss the alarm as I have another child and am exhasted...Needless to say I am worried and beyond.. Thanks so much... Kira Hi my name is Kira and I have a 5 week old baby girl who is a “slow feeder” and awakes and coos and plays sometimes but most times I cannot wake her up to feed.

A cot is what Americans refer to as a crib, I think! It is a little bed with bars on both sides and top and bottom panels so that the baby can't fall out or climb out. A <b>cotbed</b> is a cot with <i>removable</i> sides so it can be used as a first bed. It tends to have a very low base so that young children won't hurt themselves if they fall out - as they don't fall very far. As a matter of fact my two daughters often slept right through the fall and were totally unaware of falling at all! I hope this helps people understand a cotbed! Isn't the English language very diverse...and confusing at times? Just thought I’d better clarify what a cotbed is.
