hi hun
how much oz's is your baby havig each feed? my 14 week old is now on a spoon
of baby rice every evening, i know they are not supposed to start till 6mths 4 mths at least,
he was going every 2 hrs for 7oz each time not settling till 1.30am after prev sleeping
through fom 9.30pm till 8am for school run was so miserable at 12 wks i introduced baby rice as between us we were miserable this went on for 3 weeks, ive spoke to hv
and she know he is my 4th told her evey thing else ive tried so other way. im not saying to use babyrice your little un is far too young maybe offer water in between
but try and persevere for a few more weeks and then see could be just a growth spurt. my one has just gone up to 8oz bottles every 2 hrs but now back sleeping
9.30 pm all night.
take care

ill make her 5oz bottle cos somes she'll take it and sometimes wont. what she normaly dose is take 3oz falls to sleep whiles you are winding her once ive done this she then starts to cry and kick her legs like its given her belly arce. she'll fall to sleep on me then i put her down and about 45 mins later she just wakes up crying so i pick until she stops then put her down and she then starts to cry again and put her first in her mouth.

might be a bit of a pain but try winding her every ounce then that gives space for her
drink some more its prob wind causing her a prob or i used gripe water straight in bottle or a little in cooled boiled water once she feels comfortab;e she may drink more and go longer in betwee n feeds. or try dentinox drops straight in bottle but i prefered gripe water
worth a try let me know how you get on hun hugs xxx

As all the other comments try increasing the feed and feed every 3hours. Let her drink then wind and do this until the bottle is finished. Cooled boiled water inbetween feeds should also help. It might not mean that she is hungry but thirsty as the wether is now very hot and like us we drink loads of water, and as the formula does quench the thirst she may be thirsty.
