Hi, my daughter Paige is nearly 5wks, and I have been having a nightmare at nights with her as she only sleeps around 2 hrs between feeds and only takes a couple of ounces of formular each feed. My friend has recommended the Baby Whisperer and I am trying to get through the book, but have a 3 yr old son Oscar, and so finding it difficult to get the time. The easy idea sounds great, Oscar loved his routine so and quite willing to go with this, however he was breast fed so things were different in the beginning, and wondered if I am going wrong somewhere with the bottle feeding.
She usually naps for about 3 - 4 hrs during the day, and will take a 4oz feed, I do bathtime around 7.30 so she has a feed around 8.00, so should I be letting her stay awake for a while before putting her in her cot? Also does anyone think it is too early to put her in her own room as Im sure that its her noises that make me think she is awake and wanting a feed, when prehaps shes not.
Anyway, I could go on but would appreciate any ideas and comments!
