baby wont eat... getting worried😕
need everyone's advice bc I'm at my wits end.... honestly... I just don't know what else to do.
Liam is 5 months old today.
yesterday he had 8oz of formula. TOTAL. in 24 hours. 1oz at noon.7oz at bedtime
he eats every 4 hours by day. (or WAS I should say)
but somehow (I guess from not eating much in the day time recently) he's wanting to eat all night. AFTER his bedtime bottle, and his 10:30 dream feed! he will want to eat 1-2 more times by morning. goes to bed after he eats at 7pm. and wakes for the day at 7am.
idk how to switch this around bc he simply refuses to eat in the mornings. and usually only takes 1-2oz in the afternoon.
then, like I said, yesterday he had a whole 8oz.
today we're repeating the cycle.
its 2pm and weve had 3oz of formula.
so, hell want to eat all night again.
napping in the daytime is still fine and between naps hes happy.
he was teething but I don't think so anymore. he's got a few teeth already, and I don't see any cutting thru.
I'm wondering if we stop the dreamfeed, and just let him wake when he's ready to eat, if that'll help.
at 6 weeks he started STTN. went from 10pm-5am, then ate and went back to sleep til 7-8. and ate very well in the day.
I am so tired!!! and worried he's gonna starve!!
still pees and poops enough and bc hes gaining weight his dr wasn't worried at his appt when we talked about it. but its gotten worse in the last week. I guess well be going back to the dr if it doesn't improve by Monday.
anyone go thru anything similar? what did you do?
what would you do, if you were me? try to night wean? ( between 11pm-7am) to reverse the cycle?
aaargh!!!! so confused and worried !!!
