8 month old feeding, sleeping routine

What is everyone else's routine for their LO?

My boy is currently having 4 bottles 210ml each time between 7.30am and 7.30 pm, he doesn't have any night feeds (he dropped the night feeds from 2months)

He also has porridge around 9/9.30 !?and either a lunch or dinner (he's not on 3 meals yet) although today i gave him some Greek Yogurt mixed with strawberry's and will be giving him pasta for dinner. Does this sound like too much or too less? He also isn't eating anything himself, everything we put in front of him he doesn't really go for it so I am feeling him at the moment. What is everyone else's 8 month doing?

He also goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up around 6.30am and is having 2 to 3 naps during the day which are roughly 45mins or around 1h 15 if contact napping.

The last 2 weeks he has been waking up 3/4times at night so every 2 to 3 hours and between 2am to 3am he is fully awake (he's not hungry just wants to plays and then goes back to sleep) this has been happening for the past 2 weeks and I am shattered. Is this a sleep regression or growth spurt or could it be the food?

Any advice on the above would be great, thank you

My 8 month old is the same regarding milk, 4 bottles in the day and none overnight, also on 2 meals a day but I think ready to go up to 3 I just need to figure out what I wanna give her for lunches 😅 so it sounds to me like you're giving him enough food. It's hard to know isn't it?

I also mostly spoon feed because LO didn't want to feed herself to start with but she is starting to now. She started feeding herself the ellas kitchen sticks if I held it to her mouth first then put it on the highchair tray for her to pick up, she wouldn't take it from my hand because she wanted me to just hold it for her, and after a couple weeks of that now she will pick up anything I put on the tray and try to eat it

Sleepwise, she sleeps approx 7 till 7 with 2 naps in the day and still wakes a few times in the night, she's never slept through yet 🥲

My LO has the exact same routine even down to the times! We have one wake up now as I’m managing to tire him out in the days by going out at least once , he has major FOMO and two teeth have cut through. And we’re on three meals a day since he turned 7months old but he is a very hungry baby. Some nights can be difficult depending on his teeth x

My boy is on around 600/650ml milk in 24 hours and has 2 meals and a snack - no night feeds anymore apart from the occasional night here and there

Thanks all, that is reassuring that I'm not under or over feeding at the moment, it's so hard to tell with solids and whether he is getting enough but he seems like he is and im hoping the night wake ups pass and it's just a sleep regression

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
