Parenting after a Loss

FF/bottlefeeding and early morning feeding?

So at night DD will eat around 4 oz before she goes down for the night. She was sleeping 5 to 6 hours on this amount. The past couple of nights its been more like 3 or 4 hours. Still not bad. But when she wakes up for her bottle she will eat between 1 or 2 ozs before she falls back to sleep. She will then sleep around 1 or 2 hours tops and wakes up for another bottle. I've tried to get her to eat more but she always falls a sleep. Any ideas on how to get her to eat more when she wakes up in the middle of the night so she will sleep longer? Maybe a medium flow nipple instead of slow flow? Or is this asking for too much?

  • We are going through the exact same thing!  Raylan was giving us 4 then 3 hrs, waking up around 7 pretty consistently, but that has just gone to pot!  We don't know what happened!  Last nigh DH did feed #1 from about 2-3, then R woke up again at 4:40, I tried rocking him but he was screaming, so he ate 2 1/2 oz but wouldn't go back down, so he slept on me until 6:30.  Ugh, thank goodness DH is splitting feedings with me...but where did our super good sleeper go??

    I want my good sleeper back too.Hopefully its just a phase and she will come back. Today she wouldn't even take a nap. She was so tired and cranky. I couldn't get her to sleep on me and that never happens. so now its almost 7 pm and she is sleeping. Tonight should be interesting. I hope you have better nights with R soon

  • Not too bad. She still didn't want to fall alseep till about 10 last night. Even though she didn't nap much yesterday. She woke up at 12 so I picked up her and she fell back to sleep till about 230. She ate then. I still used a slow nipple but she ate 2 ounces. And slept till about 330 I picked her up and laid her next to me till she fell back to sleep and then she slept till 530.

    Thanks for checking on us Southern!
