Help,4 month old eating less and less!!!!
« on: May 08, 2008, 14:54:15 pm »
Hi,

My 4 month baby has been  on 4h EASY for about a month now. It was all going great, with him sleeping 8 to 10 straight hours every night and feeding very well. Unfortunately, about 10/12 days ago he suddenly started loosing interest in eating (i have tried breastfeeding, giving him a bottle of formula and also a bottle of my milk and nothing works) and waking up hungry  at about 3 am. He isn't even interested in taking the dreamfeed, i actually have the feeling i'm disturbing his sleep rather than helping him sleep through the night.
When i feed him at about 3 am, he eats really well, in fact it's the time when he eats better and more.
I don't know what to do, i know that unless i feed him at 3 am he will not go back to sleep and will cry like crazy and i hate not feeding him when he's hungry but on the other hand i am worried he's getting into the habit of being fed in the middle of the night.

Please, if you have any tips on what to do i'd really appreciate them!!!!!

Could he be teething? Are you EBF or both bottle and breast? What bottle are you using?

We had the same thing happen at 4 months...ds was just really distracted when he was eating and therefore taking less and waking at nights.  This lasted for a couple of weeks and then things went back to normal.  In the mean time, try feeding lo in a quiet spot with no distractions.  Perhaps give him a toy to fiddle with while he is feeding to keep his mind occupied.
