My 3.5-month-old son is difficult to feed, windy, and is waking in the night again My son is 16 weeks old. Over the last two weeks has become increasingly difficult to feed, and has started to wake in the night again, although he doesn’t appear to be hungry when he wakes. He dropped the night feed at around 11 weeks old yet, despite not feeding after 10.30pm, he is fairly disinterested in his 7am feed, taking around 100ml. Until recently, though, he has fed well at the other feeds. He has always had a problem with wind and has released a lot from his bottom since he was just a…

My 13-week-old baby has digestive problems and is taking less and less milk My daughter is my third baby on the CLB routine because it was such a success with older siblings. I started the routine even in hospital, but she still very quickly developed problems feeding. Initially breast fed, she gulped air as she fed, and as soon as the milk hit her stomach I could hear loud rumbling. She only fed for a bit before screaming, or feeding for a few minutes and refusing any more. Huge burps kept coming – excessive wind I think caused by ingesting so much at a feed. I introduced an expressed bottle…

How do I have a feeding routine with my 3.5 month old who suffers from reflux? I have always tried to follow the schedules, but firstly I could not properly breast feed, then my son suffered horribly from acid reflux in his first 2 months. After his first week of treatment with Zantac, he was angelic. His schedule just fell into place. Then things went very wrong and he continues to buck and thrash when I try to initially give him his bottle. He will settle after a few minutes, but then he has exhausted himself so, that he can barely take 4oz at a time. The only time of…

Is my daughter of 15 weeks having enough milk in the day for hunger not to be the reason for her early mornings? I am struggling to get my 15 week old daughter to take more milk during the day. I might be wrong but I think that she is waking early morning genuinely needing to feed. She has never slept through from 10/11pm. About a month ago she was waking as early as 2:30am, but then I was still breastfeeding and knew that I had problems with my milk supply. I was already topping her up with formula. Since she’s now fully formula fed I have noticed her intake…

Is there a way to push my 16 week daughter’s morning feed onto 11am? My daughter is 16 weeks old and I am struggling to get her to stretch her 10.30am feed closer to 11am. I am convinced this is due to the fact that she only takes a very small feed at 7/7.30am. I have tried some of the suggestions on the website such as holding off until 7.30/8.00am to feed her, but she will still only take a very small feed (4oz) and even then she doesn’t take it all in one go. She already only takes a small amount of milk at 10.30pm and I am worried…

My 16 week twins were three weeks early and have slept an eight-hour stretch at night since they were eight weeks old My twins were three weeks early and have slept an eight-hour stretch at night since they were eight weeks old. They seem to need a lot of sleep during the day and as long morning and afternoon naps keep them cheerful (they\’re very grumpy without them) without interfering with their night-time sleep I have kept them long. Now they are 16 weeks I am hoping to drop the 10pm feed, but am not sure how to tell if they’re ready. For several nights they have gone through to…

My 13 week daughter still needs a small feed at 4am My daughter is thirteen weeks old and still not sleeping through the night. She wakes around 4am each night. In addition she will not sleep more than 45 minutes at lunchtime despite trying all the methods in the CLB book.We have reduced her 4am feed to just 3ozs [1/2 water and ½ formula] as she refuses to drink water at any time of the day. For two weeks I increased her milk intake during the day but she still woke at night and she out on 22ozs in a fortnight. She started being sick a lot [she suffers from…

My 3.5mth son is doing well on the routines except I cannot get him to sleep beyond 6am Since I started my son on the routines, he has been brilliant. He sleeps beautifully at all the times he should and we have recently cracked the ‘waking after 45 minute problem’ at lunchtime and he now sleeps well for 2 hours. He still wants about 30 minutes in the afternoon too usually from 4-4.30. He is so tired after his bath that I just cannot keep him awake until 7pm, so he is normally in bed by about 6.40-6.45pm. If I don’t put him down, he just falls asleep either in…

My 3.5mth daughter has started to wake at 4am. Should I re introduce the 10pm feed? My 3.5 month old daughter has been following the CLB routines for 3 months with varying degrees of success. The present problem is that she is waking at 4 in the morning and not able to settle herself back to sleep. I dropped the 10 pm feed at about 2.5 months as she was sleeping well from 7 pm through until 6.30am, this was fine for a while but now I feel that I dropped it too soon. I have tried to reintroduce the 10 pm feed but it leaves her very unsettled and…
