Super slow eater

Until a week and a half ago we'd have problems getting his bottle away from him to burp him bc he was sucking his formula down. Now all of a sudden he eats sooo slow and falls asleep during feedings. Then he wakes up 10 min later and the process starts over. Anyone else have this happen?

Re: Super slow eater

  • Are you waking him to feed or going on his demand?

  • Lucy is a FAST eater, and so we have to let her have the bottle for a minute and then take it away for a minute; repeat.  But she does fall alseep during most feedings.  She eats in her sleep though.  Does P still eat when he's sleeping?
  • Cole does this during the day a lot. He is a heavy sleeper so there is no waking him. I'm not sure what the solution is.

  • We feed on demand. We tried a schedule and it didn't work out. He'll eat in his sleep, but sometimes he just holds it in his mouth.
