Baby won’t sleep deeply without large feed
My 4.5 month baby won’t stay asleep in the evening unless we give him a big feed. He falls asleep with cuddles but I can tell it’s not a deep sleep, and then when we place him down he will often wake either straight away or within 20minutes and the cycle will continue until he has fed enough.
He is EBF and I don’t mind feeding him as much as he needs, but the issue is I don’t seem to have enough for him as he feeds every 1.5-2hr from 2pm typically, and so by 7pm my breasts are not totally full.
We’ve tried giving him an expressed bottle instead and this can work, but I honestly hate it. It’s time consuming and often I don’t have enough anyway from one pump session (typically 100-120mls) so I have to try and pump small amounts during the day just to get a big enough amount for him (around 150mls seemed to satisfy him)
Anyone else have this problem? I’ve been going through my small freezer stash but it’s starting to get low.
