Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Formula Feeding
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? 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 naturally for the late feed so it…

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…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Breast Feeding
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. She has suffered from bad problems with wind since birth so we started infacol with every feed at a week of age which really helped. No other feeds are affected and my diet hasn’t really changed. It means that she scream for up…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Breast Feeding
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…

Feeding FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Breast Feeding
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…

Sleeping FAQ: 3-4 Months – Settling/Sleep Associations
I am new to the routines and am trying to get my 11 week daughter to settle better without a dummy I would like to know a little more about crying down. I have successfully used controlled crying techniques with my older son, when he was a year, but it is recommended by Dr Ferber that these are only used on babies over 5 to 6 months. I have been struggling with my 11 week old daughter for 11 weeks now! She was very colicky (I think), fretful anyway all evening and wouldn’t settle until at least midnight, until very recently, when I think she was no longer in pain…

My three-month-old daughter is feeding every two hours and I need some sleep! My three-month-old daughter has never followed a routine, but now I have realised that I have to establish a routine if I am to maintain any sanity and get some sleep! She feeds approximately every two hours and obviously isn’t drinking enough each time to keep her going for four hours. During the night, this is becoming a serious problem as I am suffering from major sleep deprivation. I have tried the routine suggested for her age group but after the 10.30pm feed she is still getting up at 2am, 4am etc… During the day, however, she…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Other
My daughter is unsettled during the morning and evening at 8 weeks old Although my daughter feeds at the approx times stated in the book, I find sleep in the day a bit hit and miss.

Because of this she is very tired and therefore she is only lasting to approx 11-11.30 am when has a good sleep. She then wakes any time from 1pm onwards, having a knock-on effect that she sleeps again at 3 not 4pm. Due to…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 9 week son sleeps well at night but is difficult to settle in the day My 9 week old struggles to take a morning nap. He sometimes goes down for a lunchtime nap but can waken after an hour in which case I cannot get him back to sleep, which results in a really cranky baby from about 3.30 onwards until bed time. My husband and I are at our wits end with the constant crying all day if we can’t get him to take his naps. He is an excellent baby at night. He goes down no problem at 7pm, gets woken up for the 10.30pm feed and…

Sleeping FAQ: 8-12 Weeks – Daytime Sleep
My 10-week-old daughter has started to be unsettled in the evenings. What am I doing wrong? For the last week my 10-week-old daughter will not settle at 6.30/7pm. She settles well at other naps and has been going through the night since six weeks. I wake her at 5pm for her split feed of 4ozs. I have tried to drop this but she is always hungry and demanding food at this time. Sometimes even after this she is still crying for more food. I bath her around 5.45pm and start to feed her again at 6pm. She normally falls asleep on me after this feed so I will end up…
