Anyone else’s baby like this? I’m struggling at nights as she wakes up every 2 hours for a feed but then falls asleep before she even finishes the bottle which makes her wake up quicker to feed again 🙈
In the day we’ve started to give her the 3oz then wait 20 minutes to see if I can top her up. But it’s hit and miss and she’s now at the point where a bottle is more fun to chew 🤪

Is it the same during the day? My LO has 6 oz every 3 hours during the day, then a 7oz bottle about 10 and will sleep 4 hours, has 2/3oz top up and then back to sleep until around 6. He used to wake up a lot more but someone said to me feeding more during the day keeps them more full during the night and it seems to work!

My 15 week old basically refuses to eat more during the day and then feasts all night. I can’t get him to eat more during the day, although I d tried!

Sounds counterintuitive but try and space her feeds out so she is actually hungry. If you keep offering every few hours she won’t be hungry enough and will keep snacking. Start by pushing her 3-3 1/2 hours and then if move to 4 hourly feeds. I found my son drank way more that way! Xxx

I am currently battling the same exact problem, it’s so tough! He won’t sleep more than 2.5-3 hrs at night and he snacks all day long. Stretching feeds in the day is helping a little to get him to eat more and also trying to make sure he’s fully awake.

yeah she’s the same in the day !

yeah I’ll try, it might be hard when she gets I bit hangry 🙈

Omg my 16 week old does 6oz every 4 hours and eats solid foods in between!! We have been doing this for two weeks now… am I doing something wrong?

if not already I’d try feeding as soon as she wakes from a nap, that’s when they’re most awake and alert and tend to take the bottle better! Feed in a really bright room as well, don’t make them too “cosy” e,g; warm and ready for sleep haha. I think a lot of it is just trial and error unfortunately 😖 I have a very hungry boy so he drinks big bottles and sleeps for longer but only in the last month or so I’d say he’s fallen into that routine. Try a few things and see if it helps! X

haha I don’t think so I think my baby is the more abnormal one 😂😂 !!

I agree trial and error and also I am hoping she just will get bigger and want more soon. But it’s just hard when it’s at night and wakes every 2 hours haha.. kills me

My baby is still like this except it’s 2 hours 😂 22 weeks x

brilliant there I was holding onto hope 😂 I’m dooooomed
