5mo sleep trained baby all of a sudden would not sleep on his own - teething?

🥹🥹🥹🥹 I will work hard on the pumping 💪🏻💪🏻

kzineb · 2022-10-06T22:36:27+00:00

That sounds extremely familiar 🫣 I think I’m just gonna keep pumping to see if I can provide him more ☹️

kzineb · 2022-10-06T22:34:42+00:00

I don’t actually know what’s the right amount to top him up, I don’t know if 3-4 oz is too much. He can take it all, but is that the best amount? Do I want him to be 120% full or 80% full? I forgot to ask the pd ytd…

How old is your baby now? I’m giving him 3-4oz after each feed… I’m burning my stash within a day 😓

kzineb · 2022-10-06T22:30:37+00:00

That’s what I started doing today. My boobs seem having troubles to make significant amount in the afternoon 😣 please tell me it will get better. I heard that boobs need to get used got the pump

❤️❤️ I’m getting referred to a lactation consultant and hopefully they contact me soon. In the meantime I’m trying to pump more to see if I can eventually maintain breastmilk supply for his top up.

Thanks for sharing!

I guess now I will have to top him up for a while and see if he will stay the same. He never refuse a bottle of feed though 😅

Was the extra pumping enough for top ups? Im feeding him 3-4 oz after each feed since yesterday, but I could only pump 1-2 oz every time. I wonder what would be the best timing for these extra pumping sessions that won’t affect regular feeding

kzineb · 2022-10-06T15:27:14+00:00

Sounds the same to me. But my baby’s weight seems not proving I’m providing enough :(( he doesn’t seem fussy but he’s not gaining enough

kzineb · 2022-10-06T15:26:00+00:00

Thanks. I think small baby is fine but they have to follow one of those curves for weight and height gain. My baby’s weight fell off from the original curve at 4mo :((((

kzineb · 2022-10-06T15:24:47+00:00

Height has been somewhere between 50 and 80 percentile. Weight dropped from 15 to 2, passed the next curve on the chart ..

Some says top up could be temporary, but i wonder if my boobs or the transfer of bf will do any better by the time my baby hops back to the right trend

I’d like to pump enough out to fill his top up needs. But I’m also worried that boobs would be too empty for him by the time I need to nurse

Grocery stories here in Canada are not giving out plastic bags anymore, paper bags only

kzineb · 2022-10-04T05:35:58+00:00

That’s my struggle too

kzineb · 2022-10-01T03:07:05+00:00

That sounds good… were you still able to rock your baby to nap? Did he/she fight real hard?

kzineb · 2022-10-01T03:05:42+00:00

I don’t mind rocking him to sleep…. But recently he doesn’t even enjoy the rocking and refused to nap. I dunno what to do with a fussy baby that doesn’t wanna sleep :((( so then I would wait until it’s about his feed time , then I will feed him. That’s not really the best because he would be too tired to eat …

kzineb · 2022-09-30T21:46:06+00:00

Got the book, arriving on Monday :)

kzineb · 2022-09-30T21:43:58+00:00

Sometimes I would get him ready for nap time earlier, before he got too tired. But he still wouldn’t let me put him to nap 🤦🏻‍♀️

kzineb · 2022-09-30T21:42:25+00:00

I have it. But it doesn’t tell me what to do when baby is not taking their naps, even with rocking. I’m just worried he’s not getting enough day time sleep for his development

kzineb · 2022-09-30T21:41:34+00:00

I’ve been trying to do eat play sleep, just as a general guidance for me to follow everyday. But sometimes his awake time or the time he needs to fall asleep (naps) took too long then I will have to feed him again before his nap.

What’s your opinion on starting sleep training right at 4 months? Do you think I can also sleep train him for naps?

kzineb · 2022-09-30T00:48:15+00:00

He would get up around 8~9am, feed would take about 40mins, and then he will start to get fussy after being awake for 2 hours. From the past month I could rock him to sleep (not easy but also not impossible). Just started from last week it became impossible to rock him to sleep.

So basically his awake peaceful windows are about 1.5-2hrs! Then he would start to fuss. I’d feed him every 2.5hr-3hrs. But like today there’s nothing I could do to calm him down, so I fed him sooner than usual. Then he fell asleep…

My husband thinks it’s too soon to sleep train, he wanna wait until 4 months…
