My 8 week son is refusing all feeds from a bottle despite taking them when younger Since my 8 week old son had his first vaccinations, he is refusing a bottle. I need to get him to take bottle feeds during the day since I go back to work in 3 weeks. He refuses the 10-11p.m feed for 3 nights now. And for the past three days he screams at the sight of a bottle during the day. We have tried every room in the house, every position but he just wouldn’t let anything touch his lips except my breast. He breasts feeds at 7.15am, 10.40am, 2.20pm, 6.10pm, 10.40pm when…

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…

How do I get my 4 week son to feed once in the night? My 4 week son is feeding well at the 10pm feed, 3oz from the bottle then 15 minutes from the breast and a further 5 minutes from the second breast. He is only sleeping till about 1.30 am and taking a full feed from both breasts then waking at 4 ish when I give him one breast and then the other at 7am. How can I get him to sleep longer from the 10 pm feed and therefore only have him wake once? My son is fully breast fed. He weighs 8lbs 6ozs. He feeds at…

My 4 week daughter is very unsettled during the night when given an expressed bottle feed at 10pm We are giving my 4 week daughter the 10 pm feed as recommended in the Contented Little Baby book, as expressed milk in bottle. However this upsets her a lot (currently on 120-140 ml) and we end up with a whole sleepless night and her being in great discomfort. This happens also if we do half feed in bottle and half on breast. She takes Infacol beforehand but that does not help either. The only way she has a comfortable night is if she totally breastfeeds at night. I am worried as…

My daughter of 4.5weeks weighs 10lbs 10ozs. She is fully breast fed. I have trouble in getting her to take a full feed before becoming sleepy. She then does not settle well in her cot at naptimes or in the evening. I have tried swaddling her but she gets very upset I would like to follow the routines with my 4.5 week old daughter as I have done so with my first child, now aged 4, with great success. However, from day one it has been a real struggle. The main problem is that my daughter doesn’t feed for very long. She will stay on the breast for a maximum…

My baby is three weeks old, weighs nearly 11 pounds and was feeding at 3am and 7am but has now back-tracked to wanting to be fed at 2am and 6am. Although I manage to express 7oz at 9.30pm he will only take 3-4oz when my husband feeds him at 10pm. Is he starting to wake earlier because he is not getting enough at the last feed, should he perhaps be having closer to what I am actually expressing at that time? A baby who is the same weight as your son and being formula fed would perhaps be taking around 4-5oz at the last feed. As your baby is having…
