Yet another sleep and solids post

vkepple

Ok so I am at a TOTAL loss. Abby turned 8 months today and has stopped sleeping through the night (this has been going on for over a month) and has stopped eating solids. I think she is waking up hungry but I don't know why she isn't eating though. I have tried teething tablets and tylenol before feeding but neither seem to work. I know I should give her some time BUT she is getting her ears tubed next Thursday and she has to be able to go from midnight to after 6 with no food or drink. Any advice is welcome.

TIA

what is her schedule like? 

maybe you're not waiting long enough after a bottle before giving her solids.. 

ds schedule goes like this:

wakes 7 am - 6 oz bottle

8am - breakfast - cereal & fruit

9am (sometimes) 4oz bottle

12 - solids for lunch

1pm - 8oz bottle before naptime

5pm solids for supper

7pm - 8 oz bottle before bed

(snacks are given inbetween these times)

She has always been a solids before bottle baby. So at about 5 or 5 30 she take a bottle then a short nap. At about 9 we try solids(shich has lately been a fail) then at 10 she takes her bottle and takes her long nap. Daycare normally feeds her at about 3 (which she has been refusing both bottle and food) Then in the evening we try solids again at about 7 or 7 30 then bath and bed. She has never been a big eater so this was always more then enought for her. I thought maybe she was getting too hungry and tried to move feeding closer together but she wasn't hungry. I think it may be her ears but I'm not sure.

could definately be her ears.. i know that ear problems can cause a reduction in appetite

poor little thing.. i hope she feels better soon!
