Feeding and sleep
Show your support
Hi Karta! I think you should maybe take him to the pediatrician if you believe he is losing his appetite. I would try some skin to skin and if he sleeps while he is on you then you both need it ❤️I don’t believe you are doing anything wrong and it seems like he is telling you he is not ready for spoon feeding just yet. Introduce it maybe 3x a week? My son hollers when I put him in his crib at night so I usually end up rocking him to sleep just before REM but it takes 2-3 attempts sometimes. Don’t give up, you got this!
My baby’s sleep regression started just like that. She would wake up every hour or so as if somebody was hurting her. At first I thought she was having nightmares but then I realized it’s her way of communicating when she couldn’t link her sleep cycles. Good luck if it’s sleep regression ✌🏻 about appetite i heard teething might cause lack of appetite.
Teething? We are going through that
@Mackenzie he is constantly trying to eat his hands. He might be teething too
@Jacqueline thank you. Maybe you are right, maybe he is not ready to be spoon fed. Question- when you rock him to sleep do you then put him in the crib? Or you cosleep?
@Caity not sure but he is trying to put all his hands in his mouth.
My son just turned 5 months old and although we don’t have issues with him feeding, he thinks he need to keep eating. He’s rarely been sleeping! He barely takes naps and he’s barely staying asleep. He whines and wiggles at night as if he’s just uncomfortable. I think he’s going through a sleep regression and it sounds like yours may as well. Or is babe teething too? My sons teeth are cutting through!
