typical gap

Feeds are longer and further apart as their stomach grows. Growth spurts can bring a few clingier days.

Draft figures for this age, pending clinical review.

Trust the worry. None of this is an overreaction.

A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher, rectally, in a baby under 3 months — including after vaccines.
Fewer than six wet diapers in a day, or refusing several feeds in a row.
Fast breathing, grunting, or the skin pulling in under or between the ribs with each breath.
Floppy, unusually hard to wake, or a cry that sounds nothing like theirs.
Swelling, redness, or hardness at a vaccine injection site that is getting worse rather than better.
Not smiling at people, not reacting to loud sounds, or not able to hold their head up briefly during tummy time by 2 months.
