My ds2 is 7.5 months. He eats well tru the day 3 meals plus, finger food, water after each meal. He was exclusively bf, recently tried to start formula, he likes the milk itself, but not too keen on bottle. I try to bf during day, but he doesn't t seem too keen, keeps latching latching, looking away, not interested.. my husband tries bottle, most he managed at one go is 120ml. But mostly he s not interested. Then aft his bath, 7 ish he bf, doesn't t seem for long, I keep trying.
He starts waking at 10... then he feeds properly, no looking about. Then he wakes again at 1, I do feed then too.. he feeds well too.. then he wakes at 3 or before and wants more, by which time I m so tired... so I 'try' not to feed, normally husband sendsme to the spare room, as I can't resist the screaming, when he tries to feed then he just doesn't want any... eventually at 4 or so he may have some 50ml from bottle, he wakes again at 5.30... sometimes he settles back till 6.45.. sometimes he stays awake. Then when I feed him in the morning he takes but it doesn't t seem too much either... he then has a good solids breakfast. All this happens so accurately I can tell the time. He stays awake for 3 hrs and goes for morning nap.. 1.5 hrs... smoothly as ever, different baby from the night, has good lunch.. maybe a short nap then... and maybe a half hr-45 min nap 5.30.. 6 before bath.
I try to bf and bottle true day but he just seems to want milk seriously only nights! How can we break this habit? Have never slept more than 4 hrs but now this has become too much. What are we doing wrong??
