Hi my LO is 71/2 months old for the past 2 weeks have had total nightmare feeding her especially her bottle and she has started waking again for night feeds, she seems to be teething and has been for some time now but no sign of any teeth! She has never been a huge milk drinker never taking more than 5oz at a time, in the daytime now she refuses to lie down for her milk just screams, have tried everything to encourge her teething gels etc.
She typically has 2-5oz breakfast most mixed into cereal (which she has recently started to refuse)
10.30 yoghurt or 2
Lunch normally has full Jar stage1 and fruit or (she just gags on stage 2 at present)
3 - 330 sometime take another small bottle or snack
Dinner full stage 1 jar/homemade with fuit or yoghurt
She refuses to take bottle before bedtime, I have tried rusk and milk also she normally goes to bed around 7-730 she only has very short sleeps in daytime and is usually exhusted by this point. She is then waking around 11pm and 2-3 am and will take a bottle of 4-5oz and then sleeps till 7ish. I want to try and stop the habit of night times feeds but it seems impossible to get anymore food into her in daytime and night seems to be the only time she will take any milk. I know being stressed about it doesnt help the situation but I am at a loss of what to try next, I dont think its helping that her dad works away in the week at present and that upsets her routine. Anyone got any ideas?
