DS2 finally dropped the NF and then a week later he got sick and started dropping his daily formula intake so began waking at night for a feed. which I obliged because he was quite sick adn I wanted to make sure he was getting enough fluids etc.
roll on three weeks later and hes over the worst of it but still waking in the night for a feed.He wakes at anytime from 9pm to 1am, its always random. he refuses to feed more during the day. Ive tried stretching him out longer periods and he becomes an absolute nightmare screaming his head off till I feed him then when I do feed him he only takes 120mls. So I tried adding an extra feed into the day to get rid of this nightfeed but again he hardly takes much, maybe 90mls at each feed.
Ive tried resettling him at night, most times it works but then he will wake an hour later. If i choose to feed him then most of the times he will go back to sleep and only wake once more with a quick resettle or sleep through till morning. If I dont feed him and keep resettling him then he will wake every 30mins to 2 hours through the night.
so does this tell me its true hunger?? even when Ive managed to get him to go all night without the feed he still doesnt take in more the next day.
Should I just continue giving him the nightfeed and hope he increases his intake during the day at some point (believe me Ive tried getting him to do so) or what??
