Trouble with 10pm feed and settling afterwards - advice needed!!
« on: November 14, 2006, 15:18:47 pm »
Hi
DD#2 is an angel baby and is on a 3hr EASY.  She has only ever woken once in the night around 3-4am and then sleeps until 7am.
We are having problems with the 10pm feed.  She wakes up naturally for this feed.  My husband gives her a bottle of either EBM or formula.  She drinks around 70mls and then comes off (tired) but as she is still doing poops in most nappies, he has been changing her nappy and then she fusses and fusses... sometimes taking a bit more milk but usually just being totally overtired and unable to settle sometimes until 1am!
What can we do?  Should we change the nappy first rather than mid-feed (thinking of trying that tonight).
Any tips?
She has had two nappies today without poops so hopefully they are slowing down....
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
xx

Hi there!

I think your about changing her diaper prior to the feed sounds good.  When my ds was that young I used to change him halfway through the feed to ensure he got a full feed given that he would get drowsy halway through.  I know it the dreamfeed, but a baby this young doesn't really get on a routine until about 6 six, so don't worry about her waking for it at this point.  ;)
