So this evening our baby had a bottle at 4:50pm and then went down for his last nap at 6pm. However, it’s now 9pm and he still hasn’t woke. This is the first time he’s treated that nap as nighttime. Should I wake him or let him sleep? I’m afraid it’s gonna mean a super early wake up in the morning. He’s 11 weeks old
Hi folks, I have a 10 week old baby boy who is the best thing ever! And such a good baby. However, I’ve noticed, compared to other babies his age, that he doesn’t love to be held for long periods of time, and when he is held it can only be upright or else lying across forearm looking out. He detests the cradle hold. He also will not let us be sitting down when holding him. Trying to get him down for naps in our arms is also a struggle and so we’ve resorted to a lot of naps in his pram which he goes down for so much easier. He will go asleep in the carrier also, but it takes quite a while and he fights it quite a bit. I feel so sad like he doesn’t like to be in our arms, especially when I see others at parent group whose babies just chill in their arms and fall asleep so easily in arms. Should I be worried?
Hello! My 10 week old is approx 6.5kg and in the last week is drinking 220mls 2-3 times a day. It’s meaning his total intake in one day is around 1200ml which seems really high! Anyone else have a big baby drinking above the recommended amount for their age?
My baby is 8 weeks (was 2 weeks over due). In the last few days he has started smashing through his bottles, taking 160mls quickly for each feed. He also has started asking for milk between 2-3 hrs from previous feed. He had been doing some long night stretches of 5 and 6 hrs but now he’s only ever doing maybe one 4hr stint followed by 2hr and 2hr stint. Should I increase the formula mls so he can get more calories in during the day?
