Feeding FAQ: 3-4 months – Breast Feeding
My daughter of almost 4 months old has started to wake earlier in the night and needs feeding to settle her back to sleep. Up until 2 weeks ago, my daughter of almost 4 months old had been sleeping until 5am after her last feed of formula at 10:30pm. I had been following the core night method and she did manage to sleep through until 7am on two occasions. However, now she is waking up any time between 3am and 5am. She will no longer accept cool boiled water or a dummy but will only settle if I give her a full feed. Once I have fed her she will…

My 10 week daughter will only take small feeds so wants to feed every 2 hours My 10 week daughter was breast fed for the first 2 weeks of her life then I changed to formula. The problem I have is that she will only take 4ozs max of formula at each feed. Consequently she is feeding every 2 hours. I have tried doing split feeds as you suggest but she rarely has more feed when I offer it again 20 minutes later. As a result of this her day time sleep is not working! My son was a perfect CLB baby so I am very familiar with the routines.…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Formula Feeding
At 8.5 weeks my son takes small feeds which seem to lead to disrupted naps I am having problems with my 8.5 week old son’s feeding. My son is not taking on enough milk during the day and we had no weight gain last week, although this has improved this week. He will only take small bottles and seems quite content on them, and is doing well at night. When I feed him he will only take about 3oz and then will wind and then will not take any more. I have tried letting him have a 15 / 20 min break but he still does not feed, often he…

My son of 10.5 weeks is still waking in the night and needing a feed. What can I do to push this on? My 10.5 week old son is still waking around 4ish and taking about 4oz. Should I use ‘hungry baby milk’ at 22.30 feed? My son is fussing a bit over his 5pm milk only taking 2ozs, is this alright or should I reduce his 5-6ozs at 2.30pm? He then takes 3/4ozs at 6.15pm. My son feeds at 7.15am, 5ozs, 10.40am 6ozs, 2.30pm, 5-6ozs, 5pm 2-3ozs, 6.15pm 3-4ozs, 10.30pm 5-6ozs, 4am 4ozs. He naps at 9-9.45am, 11.50-2.15pm and 4.30-5pm. If you have to wake your son at 7am…

My 10 week old baby who is formula fed and weighs 12lbs 5ozs is still waking for a full feed at 3.00am. She is now losing interest in her 7am feed. I let her wake herself for the 10 pm feed so it can be at 11pm. Do I persist in giving water before her 3.00am feed and should she now be having 6oz feeds in the day?

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Breast Feeding
I am wondering if my 9 week old daughter is getting enough breast milk? I am concerned as to if my daughter is receiving enough breast milk. She is generally happy, content and rarely cries, but, during her lunchtime sleep, she usually wakes after 45mins. Sometimes she will resettle, sometimes needs to be fed and is genuinely hungry, despite not wanting to have any more milk at her 10.30am feed. This is our main problem. She also cries very hard as she falls asleep, at each daytime nap, just for a minute or two. She is often quite sleepy after feeds, and has longer daytime naps than recommended. My daughter…

For the last 2 weeks after a few minutes of the 6.15pm feed my 8 week daughter starts screaming as if in pain For the last 2 weeks after a few minutes of the 6.15pm feed my 8 week daughter starts screaming as if in pain. We have also noticed a lot more possetting during this period and she has had a lot of hiccups since birth.

My son of 10 weeks wakes at 6am and is not satisfied taking one side only. He then is tired by 8am My 10 week old baby is waking at 6 after sleeping through from late feed at 10 30pm, which is great. However he won’t wait until 7am for second breast and is then tired by 8am and hungry by 9 am which throws off the 9 o clock nap and the 1030 am feed. He also will take all naps in his Moses basket but always wakes after 40 mins at lunchtime and will not re settle. So I take him out for walk at this time and…

Feeding FAQ: 0-8 Weeks – Formula Feeding
How can I get my 7week old son to stretch out his feeds in the night? As you can see my son was a big baby. He is a very hungry baby and has been since birth, which is why I have changed to complete formula feeding. I am unable to stretch out any of the feeding times and he cries for a bottle the minute that he wakes during the day and has to be full of food to sit happily or lie on his gym, so I feel that I constantly have to have a bottle at the ready. I have tried a dummy but he spits it…
