Anyone else?

Question

Does anyone else’s baby only drink 3-4 oz still? I literally think she’s not drinking enough daily. I’m dying from being overtired, I’m super stressed out, I cannot function normally. I need my baby to sleep longer without having her cry it out :( she wakes up 5+ times and I legit cannot do this.

Answer

Formula or breastmilk? Most breastmilk babys never eat more than 4oz at a time.

Answer

This may sound repetitive, but ive noticed a correlation with my baby’s eating and sleeping. If I’m inside the house all day, she sleeps for crap. When we go about on a weekend and she’s out and eating on demand while we r out she sleeps better. Not sure how this helps but maybe more time outside, and space feedings out so she’ll eat more? What nipple size for your bottles? I changed mine to the next size up and it has helped with her eating she doesn’t get frustrated and stop feeding

Answer

My son went to eating 5 ounces for a couple weeks finally but now he’s so distractable Ive has to go back down. 5 ounces was so much easier to get all his feeds in!

Answer

I noticed my son refuses to eat when he's super distracted or in a new place. I try to make sure the bottle is warm, and that it's been at least 3 hours otherwise he's not even hungry for it. Sometimes I know he's not actually hungry if he is easily distracted by other things. When babies are hungry they'll let you know. It's hard because I think eventually they'll be eating more food and then drinking less milk. They are going through so many changes it can be frustrating when they refuse to eat. I really try not to force him if he's not hungry though. 
I constantly worry about his intake, but at the end of the day he's had days where he's eaten 30 oz and NOT slept through the night. He's also had days where he ate 20 oz and slept great. It's really a guessing game!

Answer

Consider introducing oatmeal with bottles. It can keep baby full for longer, has iron and fiber.
