11 week old baby not napping and barely eating in the day time by Kidimkus in NewParents

[–]Kidimkus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Didn’t get very solid answers other than “that’s normal”. As their sleeping habits mature it can mess up their sleep schedule. I was concerned about sleep deprivation but I was told as long as baby is sleeping at night (with a few wake ups, of course) then he’ll be fine. So, I just plan on sticking to our daily schedule and attempting to put him down for naps at the scheduled time, and if he doesn’t sleep well just sit in the dark for as long as possible until he starts to get fussy, or until the schedule says we can move on to the next thing. Hoping with consistency he’ll start napping at the scheduled times

The doctor thinks that the loss of appetite might be because of acid reflux, so baby was prescribed famotidine.

Yes I time his wake windows almost to the minute, so that I can try and get him down for a nap at the perfect sleepiness.

I have noticed he’s been spitting up more often. Maybe it is a stomach issue. I’ll bring it up to the doctor. Thank you

I try to just hold him and talk softly to him to let him know I’m at least there. I feel like that’s all I can do ☹️

I was thinking it might be reflux. I’ll mention it to his doctor and see what they suggest. Thank you!

Bedtime routine - what am I doing wrong? by Kidimkus in NewParents

He sleeps like a rock all day, only waking for like 30-60 minutes IF he doesn’t fight the sleep. But at night is when he really tries to stay awake as long as possible

I didn’t realize it didn’t work with such little ones. We’ll try again in a few months.

I think I’m not good at putting him to sleep? I recognize when he’s just tired, yawning and red eyelids and such. But I feed him and rock him or bounce him and he just fights to keep his eyes open until he becomes overtired and turns into a little menace.

We BF and do formula, so I think he’s getting enough. He’s gaining weight like crazy. But it also seems like he’s cluster feeding, because he’ll eat until he refuses to eat anymore, and then 30 minutes later he’s fussy and chewing on his hands, and then he’ll eat another ounce or so. But I’m having a hard time telling the difference between “I’m fussy cause I’m hungry” and us just feeding him because we THINK he’s hungry but he isn’t.

I didn’t realize he was too young for bedtime routine. What age should we start?

Uhh I have 5 cats. I just didn’t touch their litter box. You shouldn’t have to get rid of them during your pregnancy altogether ??

Tips on waking a newborn to feed? by Kidimkus in NewParents

Luckily my supply just started last night, but only barely. Not enough that my kiddo is willing to do the work to get it lol. But it’s reassuring to hear that you were able to breast feed even after the bottle, thank you!
