Bottlefeedingfeeding routine
hi, my son is 6 weeks old n was in a really good routine he used to feed every 4 hours, but since sunday he has got out of his routine. he now wants feeding every 2 n half to 3 hours. i advice on how to get him back into his routine. at the min i dont no wether in coming or going. its messed up my routine as well. his feeds are just all over the place. i tried uping his ounces n he still wont last 4 hours,. please help xxx
my baby went through that its a growth spurt lasts about a week ish then should calm down take care xxxx
you could try giving him a dummy in between feeds. need to wean him off it ideally before 4 months or 6 months at the latest as they are habit forming
My son is now 3 months old, and i had the same problem with him. I found out that he had servere trapped wind and this was causing him to eat less at feeds which made a knock on affect to the routine. It took me a week of constant winding to finally give me the trapped wind he was holding onto and then he started feeding properly again. I also then put him onto the stage 2 for hungrier babies. He is now lasting 4 hours happily and i feel he could even last a little longer if i didn't give him the bottle.
Take a look at your sons top lip!!! If the skin between the nose and lip is a bluish or purple colour then it means he has wind. Even if he is not crying the wind is there.
This could be the problem!!!!
