Hi
Ok, well last night wasnt great, at all. i w2s at 2.20 am, he woke at 4 am, really crying, wouldnt settle with anything, seemed genuinly hungry, displaying all the signs he usually does when starving, desperate cry, eating his hands, sucking dummy but then spitting it out. i offed him water and he had an 0z then got cross it wasnt milk, so i thought maybe he is hungry, and as tracey says its important to listen to your baby and respond to his needs if he is really upset, so i traipsed downstairs and fell over dd`s barbie stuff, did his milk 9too hot, had to cool it down, grrrr) came up and he was in a real state, seemed starving, had 1 oz then refused rest, put him down and didnt hear a thing till 6.30 am when he was chatting to his cot mobile and eating his feet!!!! what now!!!! should i offer milk again or is this a habit that needs discouraging. BTW, he NEVER takes his first feed well, reagardless of if he last fed at 11pm or 4 am. here is a typical day;
6.30-up
E- 3oz at 8 am
S-9am (1 hour)
E- 11.15- 7 oz, then 1-2 cubes puree
S- 12.00 (2 hours 15 mins)
E- 3ish- 7 oz
S- 4.45 (30 mins)
E- 7pm, 8 oz
7.30pm bed
10.30/11pm 8 oz
this morning i introduced 1 cube fruit/rice after his first bottle which he gobbled to see if it might help? started weaning last week, he is 20 weeks tomorrow.
any thoughts?
?
