Title: 14 wk baby always sleeps when eating
Post by: boadellac on August 14, 2012, 13:36:12 pm
 Hello
I really struggle with the keeping my baby awake after eating,  i've just got her from breastfeeding to bottle and she always falls asleep when having formula bottle. I can normally wake her if i lie her down or change her nappy but today i couldn't wake her at all at the lunch time feed :(
It also means when i'm out I struggle to wake her as i need to lie her down when she is on my lap she just stays asleep whilst feeding.
I'm trying to keep her to a 3 hour easy routine, any tips or advice ??

Hi hon- I've just moved you over to breastfeeding as it seems more about the feeding/waking rather than routine.

We had this issue- just do what you can to wake her after eating, but don't panic about it if she misses some A time. We sould always do a nappy change AFTER the feed to wake our guy up, and this usually worked... but sometimes didn't!! Undress her as she might be too warm and cozy?

My guy took AGES to 'wake up' - and he's always been a really chilled little guy, I can't guarantee your guy will be too, but you might be lucky!

And since you're bottle feeding right now, I'm going to pop this over to bottle feeding.  :)

well since the hot weather has arrived she is now having some bottle falling asleep then i manage to do some activity but then she has the rest of the bottle and sleeps again :0
easy routine is officially out the window i presume i will have to get back on track when the hot weather goes .
