Hi, I 've gradually seen a pattern emerge of massive night feeds. At 3 weeks she was taking 150ml from a bottle at 10:30 (now its 150-180ml) and then BF 4:30am ish. She has always been difficult to settle after the second feed and i would often have to go in a give her more. Now after the 2nd night feed, she goes to sleep (if before 5am otherwise is awake and tired) for 45 mins then will cry till I give her more. she is then not hungry in the morning an hour or so later when i try as you would expect, but then by the time 3 hours has gone by she takes a tiny feed. At the next feed which is now a bottle she only took 100ml yesterday.
Today it is 8:36am, she fed at 4am and then again at 5:15am and will not take any food from me. She is looking uncomfortable as eating hands, hiccuping as I tried to feed her and she got anxious, and is also overtired as I struggle with naps and cannot do anything about the EW.
I'm going to try a bottle now see if she only wants BF in the night. Also should I be thinking about moving to 4hr feeding early. She hardly ever cries for food it seems, she cries loads when I try to get her to sleep however!
I have just given her a bottle, she thrashed around, sometimes looked interested, sometimes not. She has taken 100ml. Am I forcing her to feed when she doesn't want to? 4-5am until 8:45am seems a long time for a 3 month old. I just don't know what she wants now although i know she needs to sleep!
