Hi there,
Just wondering how many ounces of formula a day is she eating? How many times a night is she waking to feed; and how many ounces is she eating when she wakes? Are you dream feeding her around 10:00pm? Have you tried switching her from 3 to 4 hour EASY plan to see if she'll eat more?
My son is just over 3 months old and the past week we were having some eating problems too. I've just recently started formula feeding and he'll only eat approx. 3-4 ounces a feeding, unless he is really hungry and will eat about 5-6, but that is not typical. I just recently started dream feeding him around 10:00 which I think has been really helping getting him to not eat in the middle of the night. When he does wake, he'll only get a soother. I am hoping soon, he'll just stop waking. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
My personal experience with feeding Cohen an hour or 2 hours after he's eaten did make things way worse. He would eat maybe an ounce an hour later, but then at his usual feeding, he would eat an ounce less. It made things so confusing and stressful cause I never knew when he was hungry cause I kept feeding him all day long. I did this for a couple days and I think we were both frustrated and unhappy.
My advice would be to maybe extend her feedings a little longer. Maybe every 3.5 to 4 hours and see if that works, and then do a dream feed, so when she does wake in the night, you won't need to feed her.
Hope this helps. Michelle
