Happy New Year to all of you!
My LO is 5 1/2 mths old now and we've had a pretty good E.A.S.Y. routine so far. The only issue was the short naps(45 min.) which was fixed, except the morning nap that goes beteen 45 min and 1 hr.
At 4 mths we started with rice cereal, since he gave signs of readiness for solids and woke u more often at night than before when he would wake up only once. At 5 mths we gradually introduced carrot, apple, butternut squash, sweet potato, peach. He loves them all. i would give him 1 tbsp of each vegie and fruit once a day. The problem is that he started to reject the breast or have just a little bit(he has more when he's sleepy), so we introduced formula which he has 5 oz at the time every 4 hrs. I ry to bf him whenever he accepts, i pump but my milk suplly is getting very low(i'm not sure if my daily head aches are related to this).When i give him solids i give them after the bottle, just to try not to sustain. Recently he started to refuse the bottle as well or has just 2 oz. and many times he is willing to eat after 5 or 6 hrs which messes up the routine. He wakes up earlier now, around 6.30 am(his wake up was 7.30-8.00 am)and i can't ut him back to sleep and goes to sleep later, 8.30-9.00 pm. he naps 3 times during the day: 2 naps of 45 min in the morning and late afternoon and 2-2.5 hrs nap around 1 pm.
he is a very good and predictable baby, but i am totally confused by him drinking so little milk/formula lately and going without eating for such long strech of hrs. i am not doing the dream feed anymore because he has a bottle before he goes to bed.
should i give him more solids? is this just a phase? people tell me that babies have moments when they eat less or more.
