hi. i have a seven week old that is having a hard time ... with EVERYTHING!!
first off, he will refuse the bottle half the time no matter what teat, bottle, nipple or formula. he seams so hungry and wont take food, he lost an oz the last few weeks, and is only like 9 lbs. . hes so hungry but he wont eat most of the time, he just spits it out or plays with the nipple. he wont poop often either. and when he does its because hes been pushing half the day and it makes it hard for him to sleap, so he wont sleep. hes so tired, and sometimes he will take an hour to fall asleap, and wake up every ten minuits, and then by the time he falls asleap for good, its time to eat. i cant get him to eat or leap, and when he does its wor ying me that hell get into the habbit of eating before sleap.
heres what happened... he got thrush about 2 weeks ago and he was on a 2 and a half hour schedual. i dont remember exactly what it was though. but it was pretty much the same every day. and then all the sudden the pediatrician told us to feed him every 2 hours atleast 2 oz, the only thing was that he would get too hungry to sleap and to tired to eat because of it. then he sudenly never got overtired the way he used to (even though he could never sleap any more) because its like he got past the overtired stage to wide awake and fussy. im trying to get him back on a schedual, but when i try he wont eat or sleap so it wont work!
help!!
