So my baby Tick opened his eyes A little over a week ago. He weighs about 99g and eating about 5-5 1/2 cc every 4 1/2- 5hrs (I'm slowly adjusting how much he eats as he gains weight so I don't over do it) . He eats great throughout the day but about midnight he takes about 2cc of formula and then he just wants to sleep the rest of the night but about say maybe 5:30-6am he's back to eating and then eats good the rest of the day. Just wanna make sure it's normal

I'm too tired to do the math on the amounts you are feeding but at this age it's fine to go for a longer stretch at night. He looks great. Just keep track of his weight so you make sure he's continuing to gain steady. He should also be given blocks at this age and sometimes they will hide a piece for a middle of the night snack. Henry's Healthy Blocks are the best. After he's eating them consistently then you will start introducing healthy vegetables. There is a chart but the first thing many of us start after blocks is dark leafy greens like lettuce(no iceberg), spinach and kale.
