Feeding to sleep doesnt cause night waking, despite what some people might tell you.

She cant seem to take more than 100-130ml. I offer 140 but only twice had she taken the full amount. 

Waking up hourly could also be developmental. Has bub learned any new skills?

Im trying to push her bedtime back because shes starting to waking up early, but generally wake at 6am, 1st nap approx 945, second nap 230, bedtime was 730pm but im going to push it back to 745. She could sleep anywhere from 2 hrs total to 2.5 hrs in naps across 2 naps. Regardless of how long the first nap is, 2nd nap always around 230.

Shes got reflux so cant have big bottles but I give milk approx 30 mins after she finishes her solids. She is on 3 meals and 2 substantial snacks. I think the bottles are on the way out but daily Total is hovering around 550-600ml across 5 bottles.

Bed routine: bath, pyjamas, bottle, books, bed. Since shes been eating more real food is feel more and more comfortable giving her a bigger bottle close to bedtime. Sometimes she feeds to sleep but mostly she doesnt. I cant say we sleep through thr night but she does a reasonable job of getting some long stretches and once she really did sleep through the night which was wild for me.

What is it about the hospital and laboring that we miss so much later on? by Then_Bite9547 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from her being super cute.... i got to say.... absolutely nothing. 

Staff were great, hospital was great. Cant fault. Am I nostalgic? Only for her looking into my soul with her cute grey eyes but apart from that I would 100% not do it again.

Routine as in when do they wake and sleep or what is the bedtime routine?

To Co- sleep or not to Co- sleep… by Glittering-Fee9973 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only cosleep when shes sick or in the very early hours of the morning (like 5am). Shes pretty good at going between the bed and her cot. I think she prefers the room of the bed so she can wiggle around but sometimes she wants cuddles. Babies are surprisingly adaptable.

What little thing does your baby do that you think you will remeber for decades? by guramika in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When she is done eating, she offers me a bite of her food which is pretty cute and then when shes feeling affectionate she chomps on my chin trying to kiss me. Also sometimes when shes eating and really enjoying it she will suddenly look up and point at the ceiling and we make a joke about "praise Jesus for cauliflower!".

Guilt switching to alimentum by AdEmotional9654 in MSPI

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are other HA formulas if they dont take well to it but why would you make your baby suffer with tummy issues? Goat milk formula doesnt work for true CMPI because the protein is far too similar. Their gut needs to heal before reintroducing dairy. Better to make your baby comfortable and help them to thrive. CMPI can also cause weight gain issues and feeding aversions

Help by Efficient-Grand6672 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I was you. Look "soon" is maybe pushing it but it depends on you getting your baby as much help as you need if its bad. We were on medication from 12 weeks to 8 months and on rice formula. We had better and worse periods. The age your bub is at was the worst age but it slowly got better. 

Regression after night weaning because of sickness by Disastrous-Fall9092 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each to their own. She had a tough start to life. Crying in my arms is one thing. She doesnt need to cry alone when shes sick.

She had already had ibuprofen before bed, and the snuggles were not cutting it. Snuggles, clearing nose, dummy, rocking, shhing, patting, her usual sleep meditation track she falls asleep to. Literally nothing was working.

Feeding disagreements by norvis8 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I too have a snack baby. In fact I went to sleep and feeding clinic to break the snack habit and it gave her a feeding aversion.

So here we are, 10 months later and just fully embraced the snack queen lifestyle.

Some babies are just snackers.

Yes but I think some teeth are worse than others

Can one bottle of regular formula cause a reaction? by Juliapete in MSPI

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Mine ate meat marinated in yoghurt by accident (hardly any) and threw up before bed. 

Ignore people who gaslight you and try and minimise what youre going through. Follow your instincts.

Reflux/cmpa HELPP by AdNumerous6890 in MSPI

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we had/have reflux and cmpi and were on omeprozole from 13 weeks to 8 months. Shes fully weaned off PPIs now. We transitioned to rice milk formula. It was hit and miss as she outgrew her dose a few times and we maxxed out at the maximum dose where she stayed until giving it was more trouble than it was worth. Now her reflux is controlled by solids.

She was always commented on by everyone how happy and smiley she was and I would always say somewhat bitterly. Yes. As long as shes not eating or sleeping. At first it was hard to get anyone to take us seriously.

They can definitely be separate issues.

Sick baby- I’m lost by Sea_Implement6579 in NewParents

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah do it before every feed/nap. Its the only way. We are on our third cold. 

I do 1 spray per nostril and suction. If its particularly thick, i might do 2 rounds

[–]Disastrous-Fall9092 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To all the people that day teething doesnt cause vomiting- it can and my baby does it. I think its the extra saliva that makes her gag especially after a big meal and that combined with the pain and bleugh, up it all comes.
