Do you think this is healthy and appropriate for a 10 months old baby? Hi Fatimah! What if you try giving him his formula an hour or even half an hour after he wakes up from his nap?
Awesome article. Much love. Hi Shweta! Let me know how it goes! All the best, Nina. Really relieved my stress. I was so worried that my 6 months baby isnt drinking well since past 2 days. Will surely try out your tips and update you. Thank u. I will surely try it. My son is 1 year 8 months but he less drinking milk then before during night time he wil refuse to drink when we offering milk.. Hi there! My son is 3 months and I noticed that he has reduced his in take.
So I try to dream feed him just after a few minutes before his deep sleep and it works out. Very nice tips. My 3 months old has reduced her milk. She is formula fed. She takes only 1 once or 2 twice or thrice during day.
She was good taking it at night but its been a week she has also her night feedings. I have a five month old who is hitting their mile stones but has dropped from the 60 percentile to the She was having a bottle every 4 hours. But ever since she was 4 months old, she went from drinking her bottles quickly to refusing her ml bottle and arching her back in protest. In a day, she would only have as little as ml of milk. I thought this was teething, but it's been going on for 1. What's happening?
It's so frustrating as a parent when your baby refuses milk. As a first time mum, I was worried. Is this common? Why didn't anyone at my mothers' group experience it? I brought her to the GP because I was worried she's not taking in enough liquid. The GP told me to monitor her for the next 3 days. I thought I had ticked off all the possible causes of this new behaviour:. At 4 months old, my baby had been having formula. The formula we use was not expired and perfectly okay to drink.
There's been no change to formula or the temperature at which the milk was served at. Was she getting frustrated at the flow of the milk? So, I changed it to a teat with a larger hole and no improvement too. She didn't have a temperature, and still as happy as ever.
She didn't seem unwell or hurt. Everything else about her seemed normal. I thought this was the case because it seemed to be the logical explanation. Everything was going well, and suddenly something changed. It must be teething. She's also salivating a lot.
I was excited and anticipating the arrival of her tiny two teeth. But days turned into weeks, and I started thinking if there's another reason. My first response was no. It's not like I fed her in a crowded place and she was too distracted. We're just home in our living room alone with the TV switched off. How could she be distracted? I was too quick to assume that this wasn't the reason. I didn't want to change our perfectly functioning routine.
But who knows? Maybe a dark quiet room might just be the answer. Feeding her in a quiet and dark room helped. She was less distracted by her surroundings and would have about ml each time. So when my mum visited and was dangling a soft toy in front of her while I was trying to feed in the room, I had to gently explain to my mum that her method of coaxing her to drink was doing quite the opposite. Another thing that worked was feeding her when she was about to drift off to sleep. I would put the teat in her mouth and she would suck and finish the milk.
We've been warned that feeding to sleep is bad. But hey, it worked for us. She was able to increase her milk intake to about ml a day. And I was just so happy that we could figure out a way to get her to drink more milk. I've been told to just relax and enjoy her given she's not unwell or dehydrated. Babies will not starve themselves. I know that. But knowing that didn't stop me from feeling worried or slightly stressed out.
For the first time mamas who are experiencing a similar situation, I hope this article is helpful to you xx. This is me right now! But I have no idea how much she is taking in at all : so past week I have been feeding her to sleep and she will have the occasional snack when I can get her on. So same here with the dark room, less distractions around. Hoping to find another way as I really want to teach her how to self settle asap!
She takes 80ml after 3 to 4 hours and it worries me so much that I have lost my sleep over this. My baby girl is about to turn 5months next week and yes, we are in this situation right now.
Everything is just suddenly change and I am trying to relax and calm but everytime i feed her, i keep praying she will take the bottle. Thank you for this article. Thank you for ur posts girls. Sometimes when almost asleep yep, he drinks somewhat.
